I wanted to remove some "save as" locations from Word and Excel. Currently shows 3 different cloud locations which come from OneDrive:
- OneDrive - <company name>
- Sites - <company name>
- OneDrive personal

Our users are only using one OneDrive location which is their OneDrive for Business folder, and it's too confusing for them to see 3 different cloud locations under "Save As". I wanted to keep only the OneDrive for Business, and followed by "This PC".
I have read an article that shows that I could remove those connected services under File > Account menu option, but I don't have any Remove links showing there.
Here is the article:

I contacted Microsoft and they said that screenshot was from an older version of Office.
It seems like the feature was there and it was removed. I would like if it can be added back.

Thanks,
Steven

OneDrive For Business and SharePoint need to be tightly integrated to support the seemless transfer of content between the two environments to support good practice formal content management together with the dynamic collaborative power of OneDrive.

Content should be able to be 'moved' from OneDrive to SharePoint so that duplicates are not created and the master content exists in one place only. Ideally, the 'Move to SharePoint' feature would provide an option to 'Leave a Link' in OneDrive to the newly created content in SharePoint.

In order to better support ad-hoc collaboration on content that has been imported into SharePoint and therefore its master version resides in SharePoint, an option in SharePoint to 'Checkout to OneDrive' should also be provided. This would allow customers to edit and contribute on content with the users empowered to restrict the audience for editing purposes as appropriate. This is especially important where ad-hoc collaboration of sensitive content, or coontent not aligning with existing Site Permissions models, i.e. the SharePoint Team Sites have been configured using a formally governed corporate security model which does not support ad-hoc permissions management well or easily for the average user.

Anyone attempting to edit the content in SharePoint once it has been checked out to OneDrive should be able to see that it has been checked out to a OneDrive account and identify who that user is. Site Admins should be able to override the checkout as per standard SharePoint functionality for instances where a user has left the organisation etc.

Back in the OneDrive world, when the ad-hoc collaboration exercise has been completed the content should be able to be checked in directly from OneDrive as the new version of the master content in SharePoint.

This approach would greatly empower business users to collaborate on content in a secure and flexible way, utilising the power and flexibility of OneDrive whilst still maintaining content integrity associated with the master source of truth for the content in formally managed SharePoint Team Sites in an organsiation.

I use OneDrive for Business on my work laptop and Dropbox on my personal laptop. There has been something bugging me about OneDrive for awhile now and I think I can finally capture it visually. The following image contains two different images: the top image is what Dropbox looks like (credit: internet search - this is not my computer) and the bottom image is a screen capture from my work laptop (with all sensitive information removed).

I am a very visually driven person and often sort data quickly by recognizing patterns but I have been having some difficulties doing this with my OneDrive for Business enabled folders.

Problem: The green checkmark icon (and blue syncing icon) that OneDrive places over a file's icon will obscure the file's icon resulting in difficulty navigating folders and reduced productivity.
Scope: Impacts the following folder views: "Small Icons", "List", and "Details".
Solution: For any folder view that utilizes the small file icon, use an even smaller sync icon OR offset the sync icon to not cover as much of the file icon OR consider making the sync icon transparent OR consider adding a feature to disable/limit the sync icon's appearance to folder only.

Side note: It may be of interest to the Office team that most sync clients draw their green check mark in the lower left corner. In the change to Office 2016, the icon for Word and other Office products was moved to the lower left. This has contributed to this issue.

I have tested the new NGSC for months now and there are a few major issues causing us problems.

1. Even with now supporting sync of SharePoint Online Document libraries, the experience is not working within Internet Explorer. When you click the "Sync" button from either classic or Modern UX you are prompted to "Sign In" the experience takes you to a page telling you to "connect your onedrive" which is already done as I have my actual OneDrive for Business files syncing (selectively). Google Chrome works perfect with Document Libraries from SharePoint Online (and allows selective sync) as well as your personal OneDrive for Business and selective sync - this part seems nailed down. It's the cross-browser experience that is suffering.




2. There is no ability, still, to Sync with SharePoint On-Prem. This is extremely disappointing as most medium/large organizations have invested lots of money in SharePoint on-prem and are looking for ways to move to the cloud. This lack of feature and ability to quickly move content between environments through Document Library Syncing is terrible. Telling your users that, a workaround is to install multiple OneDrive clients, is not a solution for business users who struggle with technology already.

Thanks!

Can the ODB Admin portal be modified to allow for assigning roles and permissions to groups of administrators to allow them to perform tasks such as:
1. Display the access rights of a mysite
2. Delegate or remove permissions to a mysite
3. Display the storage used by a mysite
4. Display the properties of a mysite
5. Display number of files in a mysite
6. Display number of files in the mysite recycle bin
7. Recover contents from a mysite recycle bin
8. Display last accessed date of a mysite
9. Display last modified date
10. Display reports
11. Display deleted mysites
12. Recover deleted mysites
