Block OneDrive and SharePoint for groups
Hellosammentions!
Technically, yes you CAN block SharePoint and OneDrive for users and still have Teams.
This is done by simply not assigning them licenses for these services
However, I dont suggest that you do that.
SharePoint is a vital part in Teams, its the main storage location for all the files you share, OneDrive as well.
If you disable SharePoint and OneDrive, you will basically just be able to do chat. Thats not using Team to its full potential and power 🙂
When it comes to restricting sync, you can restrict filetypes and what devices can sync using the OneDrive client.

Thanks for your response.
Blocking sharepoint and onedrive would be temporary , keeping it active for the IT department to spend some time to get a better understanding of it.
I did try removing the license, but was still able to save documents from word and excel to one drive.
After some poking around I found I can create a device profile in intune which would block synchronizing one drive and hide the options in office pro plus to be able save to any sharepoint locations. But this is just for the desktops. So still trying to figure out how to do this on mobile devices.
