Teams Posts & Files Tabs - making Files Tab as the default AND Renaming the General channel
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
- After having used Google apps for four years in a 100+ people business setting, I can say that while it's not perfect, it actually does seem easier to use that O365. Sure, the main apps like docs and spreadsheet lack some of the nice functionality of Word and Excel, but if you're looking for basic-plus, Google is quite suitable. I didn't need to do pointless extra clicks as described in this thread.
