You can shout this from the mountaintops and the diehards would never believe you about SP becoming a data swamp. I have a OneNote page that has all of the invitations that I receive so at least they are in one place, although I believe that MS now shows you all of the files that have been shared with you in certain views. But, yes, if everybody has a SP site, and the project has a SP site, pretty soon it is impossible to find anything. My wife’s nephew used to work for MS and told me that nobody he worked with used it because they switched teams so often that it did not make sense. Perhaps things have changed, but I wish MS would overhaul the UI for SP. It is a kludge at best IMHO, and it is the underpinning of Teams, so behind the scenes it is creating untold numbers of folds and paths.
