See how hard that is? Users coming from mapped drives through on-premises SharePoint and file servers hate that new level of complexity. Below is some basic functionality that would go miles toward improving user adoption:
This was a little general to include in User Voice, but if I can condense it all into a quick blurb I'll throw links down below. Thanks for listening, hopefully the right folks find this feedback helpful! @Sean Squires?

Thanks for the feedback @Paul Youngberg - you are right; the saving experience is more difficult than it should be - which is why I know there are investments being made to make it easier.
Great ideas! Adding @Christophe Fiessinger - for notice/comment on the first suggestion to make it easier to save to a specific/frequent location from Outlook - and @Lincoln DeMaris for notice/comment on the suggestion to make it easier to pin specific targets in the client app backstage.
