My organization is reviewing a way to move forward with file storage and one of the scenarios we will face is content that currently exists on a classic Team site in SharePoint Online that we would like to somehow associate with a Microsoft Team, specifically with the SharePoint Online backend site for the team that gets automatically created.
I had thought a Hub site would be a way to do this; by setting the Microsoft Teams-created SP site as a Hub and then associating the classic Team site with it, I was hoping to be able to see the content linked or available between the two sites... because that seems to me to be the prime use in something like linking a site to a Hub (otherwise why leave the classic 'site -> subsite' schema of yesteryear which worked fine?)
However, I cannot seem to find a way to link content between the two sites, or make content from one site available in another. Is there some way to do this? I can't even search for content in one of the other sites as this article suggests:
Search within a Hub
Once you create a Hub and connect other sites to it, you will notice that a Search Box on the Main Hub now searches across other sites within a Hub. This is amazing!
(I can't even find that "Search Across Sites" box/option. I only see one Search field centered at the top of the viewport).
I guess I'm not really seeing any point/use in associating sites with a Hub site at this point.
