    This really slows me down.  Why remove something that clearly works for so many of us?

    Still, it's better than the steaming 1803 update that just broke my computer.

    Hi,

    In the Save As form of any office (word, excel...) above the One Drive the "Recent" option should be available. 

    If it is there when you click on it you will see the old Pinned folders of yours.

    It's working on my US English Version 1801 (build 8911.2016 Click-to-Run).  What appears to happen is there is now a Folders "tab" at the top.  You can pin there.  Note, this is only going to allow you to pin folders that contain recently opened files.  If you want to have a folder show that isn't listed - just open a file from that folder and go back to the Open dialog menu.  I just tested it and it works exactly as I've described.

    "Escritorio" is on a local drive. Just pin a new folder on a local drive, check "Local Drive Folder" is in local drive "E"

    Actually, looking at it again I suspect the only reason you have folders is that they are in the cloud, google drive.  Or is the first one, "Escritorio" in the Older category on a local drive?

    If you click on "Add a Place, to the left of the list in your capture, you can only add cloud based locations.
