sure like a mapped drive that's right in the OS. OR, is MS trying to get rid of SharePoint 'Shared Docs', because if that's the case then allow access in SharePoint to get to the Teams Library, because I see no way to get to those inside that Library, unless I use the web SharePoint, which is slow and clunky. Not some other Dir./Folder structure that Teams makes that's outside the SharePoint. Again, shortcuts would be a perfect resolution to direct people in a team to specific Folders in/on the SharePoint. If a company wants to have a company wide SharePoint structure for data archives, file resources company wide, accessible on any device with SharePoint, why can't I have just the Marketing Folder that's in the 'Shared Doc' of SharePoint linked in Teams instead of the whole SharePoint Folder structure. See my screen captures and all will get it. Just wish as IT person, that I can make shortcuts to specific folders that are in our SharePoint (data archives/company resources) instead of the whole Dir. I like the power of Teams and SharePoint. My biggest request would be a better way to move work that started in Outlook to Teams and (if necessary) back again. I have my hold outs too, however between Teams and Slack, this is the way that things are moving to. Work fro anywhere on any device etc too.Ī lot of tasks can be done from within its walls (view/edit docs, tasks, convos) and then you can always hop out to the full version of the app. We're telling people that Teams is your aggregation of all the tools and a great way to start performing work. It is not by clinging to previous ways of working. I'm having to re-educate my usership on how to get the most of the suite. Syncing is the solution to having "local" file structure to work with when speed is required. Mapped drives also mask out a lot of the power of SharePoint. We also see the lack of a mapped drive as a distinct bonus, as this is one of those things that was forcing us to maintain VPN's and Citrix, as people couldn't access files remotely. Its a mind shift away from everything being architected around files. It keeps the File Explorer as the starting point and excludes any other productivity that is to be gained from Teams. If I could create shortcuts of SharePoint drive locations into the Teams Files structure that would be a perfect You have probably considered this but mapping drives is the old way of working. Because us Tech types use the mapped drive in Windows to folder locations because it's part of the OS and is faster. I'd love to have shortcuts to be put in Teams folders to the locations for specific folders on the SharePoint drive. Do realize in my situation I'm dealing with a few people in the company that have no clue of file hierarchy and structure so I need to lead them to it. Why can't we make shortcuts in the SharePoint drive to locations in a file hierarchy that our is our company standard and both Teams and SharePoint can be directed to that. What would awesome is if it can act just like the Dir/File structure of Windows, your own OS. Yes, those can be accessed in Teams by using "+ Cloud Storage" structure to locations in the SharePoint Dir. This way shortcuts can be made in that Teams Dir. So does that mean that in mapped SharePoint drive I'll see the Teams Library Folders? That's ultimately what needs to be done.
