[ms office - o365] Office365 (Word, Excel) saving to Sites (SharePoint) option - No Frequent List

[MYK-IT]

Hi,

 

Using latest version of Office365, and staff are able to save/open files directly to and from their OneDrive natively via various applications (e.g. Word, Excel etc.). However, the issue we are having is in relation to wanting to do similar with resources saved within SharePoint sites. Whilst the option is there to select "Sites - Name of school", this brings up a 'Frequent' list. Getting a SharePoint site to (automatically) list within here appears to be some weird Microsoft voodoo magic; as in it appears to have a mind of its own to as or when a SharePoint gets displayed. We have tried 'pinning' required SharePoint sites / folders to OneDrive to workaround the issue that way - but ultimately our end-users don't appear to be getting the 'following' section, which should list all the SharePoint sites a user is a member of.

 

Whilst searching online (across other Microsoft/support forums etc.) this appears to have been an issue for some time; some suggesting reinstalling Office365, signing out/in etc, enabling Modern Authentication (though I think some of these refer more to Office 2013/2016 etc.) I have no known GPO or MEM Office Policies that reflect this behaviour.

 

Just wondered if anyone is experiencing similar and/or found a resolution?

 

Many Thanks,
