How Can I disable find shared folders faster popup?

Here is a screenshot of this annoying **bleep** thing. It hovers over the documents when I open something like library>documents. Really annoying! I am on a mac but am using sharepoint onedrive online.

    I had to switch back to the app. Online was impossible to use even though I preferred the online version better.

      Workaround for online is: if you adjust your browser zoom such that Add shortcut to OneDrive moves under the 3 dots (...), you shall not be bother with this popup...
      I saw similar in the desktop app for people who have very low screen resolution set.

      Otherwise it just keeps popping up.

        I agree with StudioXDP - I'll take the workaround, and thank you very much.  :smile:

         

        But I'm sure most would hope that Microsoft removed the annoying reminder ... I still open Teams in full screen mode, forgetting what then happens.  :cry:

    Same issue here, in Teams Windows client. Learning popup does not go away. There are many users in our organization seeing this.

    Me too ... I find this incredibly annoying. Every single time .... .😥
  • captainvic I'm also looking for this answer.  I get the notification every single time I select a folder or anything from the "Shared" part of OneDrive.

     

    I get it, I can sync it with my computer.  I don't want to.  100% do not want.  Spotty internet connection means files OFTEN fail to sync and cause issues when synced between multiple locations.  I don't want it.  I really really really really don't want it.

     

    There's a wonderful X in the corner, but it only closes it once.  Next time I load the page?  Guess what, notification again.  I've already closed it dozens of times and I still fight with it every time.

     

    Can there PLEASE be some solution that I can say "Got it, please never every notify me of this again!" or is it just going to be Microsoft shoving yet another thing I don't want down my throat?
