Every time I try to use the Save As feature to save a Word or Excel document, Teams channels appear in the Quick Access area. I don't want these items to appear. This just started happening last week. Normally the folders I have added to Quick access show up..

    I am sorry, that does not answer the original question at all.

    Totally agree - this is such a nuisance. The quick access Teams files are ones I never use - wasn't aware of most of them until this popped up. I just want to be able to click 'browse' without all the additional hassle of scrolling to find it.

    The Quick Access Toolbar for that check box is not the same Quick Access that is showing in Open and Save / Save As. That is the ribbon that shows in the Toolbar. As another poster pointed out Microsoft's implementation was horroble. No way to turn off and reusing a name that is not properly descriptive and causes errors.

    Do better Microsoft!!!

    Thanks for those screenshots. I just noticed the Show Quick Access Toolbar check box.
    Be careful because unchecking this box and adding the checkmark back does not return things to the way it was.
    I did a Reset and it still did not return the Save back to normal.
