Relationship of Office Client to Locations

I'm looking for a guide that explains the use cases for the Open and Save dialogs in Office client and how they relate to O365 Groups and SharePoint.

 

 

Question - what is the difference between Sites and SharePoint in the dialog?  

Question - what determines the things that show up in each of the Sites and SharePoint views in that dialog?

Question - how do I connect a Library to Office client?

    Sites shows you SharePoint sites for any account that you mgiht have used in the past. Sites are specific for a single login hence the bits that you masked with red.

    Go to the library and click Conntect to Office:

    1. I don't have Sharepoint, only Sites. Have you opened libraries from multiple accounts, perhaps?
    2. The last libraries from which you have opened a file. You can pin libraries to the top of the list, if you want.
    3. Open the Browse dialog and put the library URL in the text box.
