Office 365 Groups - Home Pages on Sharepoint
- Oct 29, 2016
Hi everyone, as many of you suspect, the reason you don't yet see a redirection to the 'Home' page for the group's site is because the rollout for 'Groups get sites' is not yet complete. We haven't done anything to explicitly hide the home page, which is why you can type the URL directly into the browser and see it currently. Once we have rolled out the feature WW, the home page will be available and navigable by default for all group sites.
Just to make sure I understand you correctly. If you go and create a new Group and then click on SharePoint tile for that group, you land on the group document folder instead of Homepage?
I don't think this is expected behavior. Adding Tejas Mehta to comment and help.

That's correct Alina. It's actually covered in this post too:-
