To be honest, despite all this, the easiest option seems to be to simply add links to all of the commonly used folders into one folder and pin it to your quick access available via the "Browse" button?

Actually, the easiest option is to disable automatic update and revert to 16.0.6366.2068, the version before this inexplicable change.

Hi,

Please Go to Excel - Options - Formulas - Workbook Calculation - Select Automatic

Then See Excel - Save As - This PC - and Enjoy Pin Folders

I already had that box selected in Excel options. And why would formula calculation have anything to do with pinning folders?

That suggestion makes no sense at all. I'm amazed that an 'insider' would suggest that.

The only way to have pinned folders back is to revert to version 16.0.6366.2068 and disable automatic updates.

The option is only there when you are inside the Sharepoint folder. It does not appear for the regular PC folder structure.
