Missing sites under Destinations when I try to move or copy files in modern library

When I try to move a file or folder, the destination dialogue box lists only a subset of sites I have access to under two headings: Following and Recent. How can I choose a site that is in neither of...

Jan Andreas Knudsen I don't believe there is another way except to "Follow" the site prior to the copy / move operations.

Microsoft tried to fix this recently by showing All Team sites, but that excludes SharePoint Group sites that don't have Teams.

BrandonM30 after testing the crap out of different ways.

The only way that works for me is enabling teams for that sharepoint site by going to Teams & Groups, in the Microsoft Admin center, finding the SharePoint group, and selecting 'Add Teams'.

Once the status has been updated and you can see the Teams logo under Teams Status, it'll then show up under 'More places'

This took wayyy too long to find!
If you don't need this to be a Teams site after, I'm not sure if you can take this option back after you enabled it.. but I think it's a good option to enable anyways, the folders will be visible in teams too. Win win.

Goodluck everyone!
Please thumbs up this comment if it helped you.

I know this can be accomplished by either pinning to quick access (which requires a license for OneDrive/Sharepoint) or enabling Teams. (which requires all owners of the group to have Teams licenses)

Is there not a way to do this if your global admin account has no license at all?
