Hello.

I've created a security group and I want to restrict users from being able to save to any directory location besides their onedrive.

I've read articles from the past about this, and it seems like all solutions are outdated or depreciated.

ChatGPT has been useless as well.

I would like a solution that is only done through the o365 admin console. Otherwise, an answer indicating that this task is impossible will suffice as well.

Thank you kindly for your help.

    @Rijad Hadzic Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based on my researching, I find we can set the policy in the following link to prevent users to save files on Local Drives

    Note: Non-Microsoft link, just for the reference.

    Hope the above information can help.
