Best Practice for replacing File Servers with Teams

As for making exceptions and collborating on private team files, you can share individual folders by utilizing the "Open in SharePoint" on the file tab in Teams, and then navigating up a level to share the channel folder. This should have been added and I hope they still do to the Files update they did recently by adding the Share or Copy link button there so you can share from within Teams.

Thanks, I guess you are describing the ability to share files and folders from within SharePoint. That is still not available within Teams, even not with the changes introduced by the new files experience. I hope Microsoft adds that option directly to Teams as well so users don't have to leave Teams for just sharing a file or folder.

That said, you can keep share links as favorites but the easiest way is to education users on OneDrive and utilizing the Shared tab on the left of the OneDrive page. This allows you to see all the documents and folders shared to you from others that are hidden away in these private sites.

That's what Andrew mentioned too but as written above I'd rather wish that there was an option to pin shared folders / files in directly in Teams as well so I have the ability to quickly find access to all pinned files / folders that are important to me.

Are you aware of a similar feature for files and folders placed in a SharePoint document that allow a quick overview of what has been shared? In OneDrive I'm able to quickly identify what folder and file has been shared, both by an icon next to the elements name and the "Shared by you" area. It would be great to have that option for document libraries in SharePoint as well so a Team was able to quickly identify all shared elements within a team site.

Thanks
