[ms office - o365] File Menu - Team Sites after first login

[robyholmes]

Hi All,

 

I'm starting to test Office 365 desktop software and I can't get my head around quite a simple issue.

 

So for a bit of background, we're starting to use Team Sites for document storage so I hoped a move to Office 365 which allow staff and students easier access to team sites. It certainly does support this. We run local accounts and our users and devices and all AD Joined / Synced.

 

So I login to the machine with Office 365 installed as a test student. Open Word and on the first page, after a couple of seconds it automatically logs in, thus licencing the software. All good so far. However if I go to open I get the old open and save menu. It takes a few more seconds to add OneDrive & SharePoint but once added I can only browse our SharePoint sites. Not Teams.

 

However, if I then close Word and re-open it. I get a new interface and when you click on 'Open' you get the newer open menu where teams are displayed, as shown here:

So each time a student logged in, they would need to open Office twice before they could open or save to Teams? (If the account wasn't cached, which is possible here but unlikely)

 

Is anyone else finding this an issue?

 

Thanks
