- Has anyone tried this specifically for Office 365 groups? I only have the option under newly created security groups, and only when they are created. Does the dynamic rule run on a schedule, or triggered somehow for a new user? Because from what I can see it's only done upon group creation.

SanthoshB1 is correct, you need AAD Premium to get this working out of the box.
However, if you are a bit into Powershell scripting then you should be able to write a script that can read a users security group profile (retrieved from AD using AD Connect) and add members to unified groups using the Add-UnifiedGroupLinks cmdlet to add members to a unifiedgroup based on a security profile.

Thanks for the link to the documentation. If we don't have the premium Azure AD, and we convert Dynamic distribution lists that were set up in Exchange to "Groups" would the membership in that group then have to be maintained by the Group owner?
I am creating some documentation for our users and I noticed that using the People directory shows Dynamic Distribution lists, but doesn't show the membership. I was thinking of converting to Groups, but will have to work out the maintenance of membership.
