Structured navigation across all of Office 365 and apps - file explorer for SharePoint
Seems to me like a lot of focus, when it comes to finding stuff in SharePoint and OmeDrive is very much about my recent stuff, discovering stuff that I didn’t know that I needed or searching for stuf...
Just to share our experience :)
We work in teams and each team needs both the same and different information. We went with the goal to have information ready for use with the least amount of clicks.
One document library was created for the shared information, classified by content type, customer, service, and tags.
Each team got their own library for team specific information.
Two pages where created for each team - one for the team itself showing the overview of information and most important, a list of customers, which opens a generic customer page (customer id in the URL).
The generic customer page shows all relevant information about the chosen customer, including the documents from the shared information document library. Additional filtering was possible for service, content type, and tags, allowing for quickly drilling down to the needed information.
Our viewpoint was that if you have to search for the information, then we have failed :)
Kind regards, John

OK, thanks! So you kept the information inside the same SharePoint Team Site?
That's not going to cut it for us, since we need to be able to define different access rights to different content.
no, we are working on multiple site collections. The navigation is only a piece of javascript. This javascript can be injected in all new site (user custom action web scoped).
