Teams Posts & Files Tabs - making Files Tab as the default AND Renaming the General channel
I fully agree that it makes no sense that each time we need to click a menu more before accessing our files, the post is not so frequently used in working ambient, please MS act on it and provide a way to customize the default tab.
YolandaZongpingLiu nonsense. Then use SharePoint and/Or sync the files. The value of Teams is the combination of communication (posts), apps ánd files. Elseway; you are using the product in an incorrect way. My advice: Focus on the core values of teams and use it in its full potential or move away from it. That saves a lot of frustrations. The posts should be the center of your collaboration within a Channel.
Maurits_Mes I don't know about nonsense; I actually agree with both you AND @YolandaZongpingLiu
–you both make sense. Like you I value the combination of "filestore" and apps and tabs - I find Teams ideal to set up a collaboration space for my teams and me. However, one thing we rarely use is Posts –it is too clumsy for two-way communication; for that, we prefer chat. However, I sometimes try to use Posts as "billboards" for information (often illustrations, diagrams, etc.) that I want my teammates to keep present, i.e. mostly one-way information. But also for that, it is rather clumsy (e.g. if the post is higher than a certain number of pixels, content will be "cut off ", so the illustration I was to display doesn't get displayed in full unless people click on it, and that is more strenuous than scrolling). For these reasons, I would –like yolanda– prefer to have the Post tab optional, or at least the ability to make the "landing tab" a different one. Best, Diba
