Saving files to SharePoint Online is HARD
It's been a while since I made this post and I'd only think it fair to follow up with it as Microsoft has delivered some real positive improvements in this space.
Files on Demand - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/use-group-policy#FilesOnDemandEnabled
AutoMount Team Sites - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/use-group-policy#AutoMountTeamSites
Save to SharePoint site - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2015/11/09/attachments-in-outlook-2016-ready-for-collaboration/ and much easier when using the two features mentioned above.
Bonus points: Live document collaberation - https://support.office.com/en-us/article/document-collaboration-and-co-authoring-ee1509b4-1f6e-401e-b04a-782d26f564a4
Big thanks to ssquires , LincolnDeMaris , cfiessinger , and anybody else involved with these changes. They were a game changer when they launched and they've been much appreciated by consultants and end-users alike!!
For me personally, I can't see any improvements here.
- How do I save an Excel, Word or Powerpoint document to a SharePoint site that I have access to but am not following?
- How do I save to a SharePoint site from Outlook for Mac?
I don't want to map any sites to my local computer.
Could you use power automate/Microsoft Graph to force all to 'follow' a Sharepoint site as its created?
- In trying to answer my own question found this PowerShell script: https://www.cyberdrain.com/automating-with-powershell-automatically-following-all-sharepoint-sites-or-teas-for-all-users/
So in theory, when users 'Save As' in any O365 programme, the site should appear in the 'following' list... what might the negative implications of this be other than a massive list?
