Link a Teams channel with a specified Sharepoint folder

Question

Hello,

I would like to use Teams channels in a group to feed a Sharepoint. However, I'd like to know if the folder created throught the channels in Teams can be located elsewhere than at the root of the Sharepoint.

Can I choose where to stock my folders created with Teams ?

I hope I am clear enough :)

Regards,

@CHARDON Amelie ,

No, you cannot do like that.

When you open the channel file folder in SharePoint document library, it will only take you to the root of the library.

As a workaround, you could add the SharePoint folder URL as a website tab in your channel. Or create a new document library in SharePoint with the folder/ file structure you want and add that as a SharePoint tab. For more details, please refer to this article.

I am bumping this thread. This should be an available function within Teams/Sharepoint.

We use channels for each project, and during project close-out I would like to be able to migrate the Teams files from the default root directory to a different location in order to keep our Sharepoint directory clean and uncluttered. Teams is useful, but small gaps in functionality like this one make it very cumbersome to use.

Thank you!

Microsoft: Please add this as a requested feature. Please allow users to point the Teams channel folders to any other Sharepoint folder. Please let this thread know if you are actively researching this feature. Thank you!
