    HiPepozzo ,

     

    I have just tested this and the SharePoint site does not appear to be created unless you visit it. 

     

    From outlook click on the group and then click the following:-

HiPepozzo ,

 

I wasn't aware it was possible to create an Office 365 Group without a SharePoint Team Site. Have you looked in the SharePoint Admin centre for the corresponding Team Sites and if they are not there what mechanism did you use to create the Office 365 Group?

    Hi Andrew Hodges, thank you.

     

    I'm sorry, I don't remember how they were created, but I can confirm you they have "Office 365" as type in group list. I also confirm that I don't have a SharePoint site corresponding to O365 group in the SharePoint Online admin center.

     

    If I create a new team site it creates a new O365 group. If I create a team site (not linked to O365 group) than sharing site to an existent group as suggested by Norman Young not seems to be the right solution as the site keeps showing as a team site not linked to an O365 group. Also, but I did not checked, I think group calendar are not working for the "invited" group.

      Hi Pepozzo ,

       

      One last thing before I stand back and scratch my head a lot..

       

      Did you check the new SharePoint admin centre as they will not show in the old one?

       

      Kind regards

        Hi Andrew Hodges 

         

        Yes, I'm using the new admin centre.

         

        Also a weird thing is that I've some O365 groups that have their own SharePoint team site. But if I've 1 group with its SharePoint team sites, I've 9 groups without site, and I can't create it (and I don't want to re-create the O365 group). :sad:
