When uploading a brand new .pbix file to the service, a tile with a link to the report gets added to an existing dashboard. This is totally un-necessary and a huge potential data security risk.
E.g. if the dashboard has been shared to someone, they immidiately get access to the newly added report! If they are not supposed to have access to the content, it becomes a race agaist time to find which dashboard the tile has been added to and remove it before its too late. A very irrational feature in so many ways...

At least make it configurable, so that administrators can turn off this feature. We share content with many external users and they are not in any way supposed to see each others reports. This is a constant struggle for us to try to maintain that no such mistakes are made. This feature makes this a very tedious task.
