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!!

Issues previously experience have all been resolved and saving to SharePoint is seamless.
The only concern is the default setting turning 'Auto Save' on, as this can lead to unintended over-writing. Other than that MS have done a brady job.

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?
