S4M – Search for Me Support Page

About S4M

S4M is the short form of Search for me. S4M is a tool that helps you to find relevant information in your microsoft 365 tenant. It searches in all OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams respositories where the current user has at least read permissions. The Search result will be presented in a folder structure or in a flat list – as you prefer. When you found a document or file that meets your search term you are able to view or edit the document directly in the results. (ability to view/edit is controlled by the assigned permissions in OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams).
