Rich, new file and sharing experiences throughout Microsoft 365, now in Microsoft Teams

Mark-KashmanThanks for the post. Great to see more seamless functionality in Teams. I'm still scratching my head over "Each Teams channel gets a folder within the default shared library." Can you explain rationale for creating folders instead of using metadata in a library? Microsoft and MVPs and SharePoint bloggers have been railing against folders for years, but that best practice appears to have been rejected. It seems like it could have been so very easy to put files in a specific library and instead of creating a folder, the file-upload would have set a choice metadata value. Unless I'm not seeing the whole picture, this decision forces the best-practioners among us to create workarounds (such as renaming the library storing conversation files to something like "Conversation-Files" and creating a new, folder-free library for all other site files). Anyway, it would be great to learn what went into the discussion that led to the folders requirement and why metadata didn't win out. Thanks so much! - tom
