Hi Greg,
I have the same issue. When checking whether the DLP Policies have been deployed to the manage endpoint c:\users\<user>\appData\local\microsoft\Office\dlp\<tenant>\PolicyRules.XML, I can see they are not.

I know that the policies work, since on the web clients the tips are shown.

Hi Andre_Schmidt and Greg Tate,
Resurrecting an old post here, did you find a fix?
I've come across this today, the web apps show the policy tip file when DLP conditions are met but not the desktop clients where SPO/OD4B is the backend storage. According to the msdocs, we should see it in the message bar and back bar locations. I know this is an issue with Outlook but there is little on the other office apps.
