This article will show you how to mark favorite files and folders within OneDrive or Teams / SharePoint so that you can access them all from one central location.  

Your list of favorites will include items marked from your OneDrive, shared items from another user's OneDrive,  and Teams / SharePoint sites.  It is a great way to bring together links to frequently accessed files and folders from all across M365 and keep them in one central location for you to access quickly and easily.
