By following a site, you tell SharePoint modern search (Office Graph) that the site and its content are important. So anytime you do a search from SharePoint Home or Office 365 Home or Delve, content from followed sites is prioritized.
It just takes a few clicks to follow a document in a site library or your OneDrive for work or school library:
- Select the document you want to follow.
- Click the ellipsis (…) next to the document and select Follow. If you don’t see Follow as a choice, click Advanced and then click Follow.
Right-click on the OneDrive icon in the System Tray and the bottom right corner and click Settings. On the Microsoft OneDrive settings screen, under Accounts, you will see the folders you have synchronized from Teams (or SharePoint). To stop syncing the folder, click Stop sync.

Is there a way to stop sharing files in SharePoint?
If you just shared a single file with someone, you can stop sharing right from within a document library. One important note though – this can only be done by Site Owners (those with Full Control), not Site Members.
Here is another way to follow a shared document. Go to the site-library in which the document is stored. Select the document and click on the ellipses next to it. Choose to Follow from the options that show up. You can click on Advanced if you do not see the Follow option in the last step.
Navigate to the SharePoint Site associated with the Office 365 Group. In the upper-right-hand-corner, it will list the members of the group. Click on the Members. On the next screen, click the drop-down next to the user you want to remove and then choose Remove from group. All done!
