However, the lack of a "share" button is just crazy. If this is supposed to be a hub for teamwork, and as they stated over and over in this announcement, it's supposed to be "consistent across services", then why can I share a file with anyone from Outlook Web or SharePoint online, but not Teams? We have groups moving all of their files into these Teams, but they still have to go out to the web to share the file with an external customer. Makes no sense.
I think it's precisely because it's in a Team and not in one of the other environments that the Share button makes less sense. If you are storing the content inside the Team it would be to share with those members. If it's a document to be consumed by a wider audience I would probably use an external SharePoint site, and link its storage to the Team for ease of use.
All of the Team resources are on the web anyway, even if you happen to use a desktop client to access them. I'd prefer that the UI presented inside the Team be more focused on internal Team collaboration. IF you bring all of SharePoint and Outlook inside then it's going to be very confusing/cluttered.
