Office 365 Pro Plus - Add a service
Is there any way to block or disable the button to Add a service or Add a place in Word, PowerPoint or Excel?
We would like to keep the ability to have our organization's OneDrive and SharePoint listed, but not add any other organization or personal OneDrives and SharePoint. The article above either allows or blocks completely.
We looked at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/troubleshoot/group-policy/block-onedrive-use-from-office, but this seems to either block one thing, but not the other and does not have any way of restricting just to our organization.

blockwood-cncy Hello, the page you're linking to is about two different GPOs. So you should have a look at the 1 and 2 policy settings I've attached. Vasil is referring to the "connected experiences" Use policy settings to manage privacy controls for Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise - Deploy Office | Microsoft Docs
1. Block signing into Office (admx.help)
2. Hide file locations when opening or saving files (admx.help)
That should do the trick.
ChristianJBergstrom thanks for that, but that doesn't solve the whole problem. It still allows me to add another organizations SharePoint and OneDrive. It only blocks personal.
I want to allow my organization's resources while blocking the ability to add another tenant.
- Which GPOs settings did you use? Are you saying you only allow your org. to sign in (the 1 above) and have disabled personal OneDrive (the 2 above) but can somehow still continue with the attached process and sign in with another account not belonging to your org?
- Some you control this via GPO/reg key/etc: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/privacy/manage-privacy-controls
