We are trying to use SharePoint (via Teams) as a central file store for our school. We are using MacBook Air for the teachers with MS 365 as the main software environment. I am a teacher and the person to decide on the process.
I tried out both versions of making the filespace accessible to the teachers: When I sync a folder from a SharePoint site, I see it in Finder under locations in the left pane. When I create a shortcut to a SharePoint folder, I also can see it in my OneDrive. So far so good.
PROBLEM: As soon as I am in e.g. Word and want to load or save a document, neither a synced location shows in that dialogue nor the shortcuts in OneDrive show! This only changes, when I click "On My Mac" and a file dialogue like in finder opens.
I know our teachers and that it will be hard to communicate this to everybody.
QUESTION: Is there a way to make either synced Folders or shortcuts more easily accessible (e.g. directly show in the proprietary dialogue of Word)?
Thanks, Knut
