closing Documents in Teams, returning to Root Directory
- Sep 07, 2020
Hi Marc_MKH ,
You are very good at English considering it is not your native language, so no problem. I am embarrassed to say that I am a typical Englishmen who relies on everyone else speaking English. I know what can you do with us.
However the crucial bit of info was the fact you were linking to other SharePoint locations by way of adding cloud storage.
I can unfortunately confirm that this just seems to be the way when linking to a SharePoint library in this manner, however and maybe not ideal. But this is not a problem if you add the library as a tab, rather than a link in the Files tab. In this scenario it will stick to the the path you were within.
I also found this user voice that might be worth a vote on: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/34700860-working-with-files-folders-in-cloud-storage-likeThanks

Hi Marc_MKH ,
Could you walk me through your scenario a bit more please?
So where do you launch the document from exactly? Is it within the Files tab of Teams, Files in the left hand navigation of Teams, Files within a Chat etc. Or even from SharePoint directly?
As I did a quick check of say Files Tab > Folder 1 > Doc.docx and when opening and closing Doc.docx I returned to folder one, with me interpreting your root as being Files Tab, however I stayed in Folder 1. So I am sure you are meaning something else?
Thanks

I go to files in Teams (General) ( in the Team Bar ) see picture ,these files are actually in Sharepointand are linked to Teams.
Then i go throu all the Folders until i found my Excell Sheet.
I open it and work within in the Teams App. When i close the File i am returning imediatly
to the Generel Root Folder, instead of getting back in the last Folder i was .
I'm not a Pro even not native english speaking, i hope you understand what i want to explain 🙂
Best Regards
Marc

Good MorningHenryPhillipsNimbitech
When i started to use Teams with ouer Team of 5 , i saw that evry User had his own Calendar and own cloud Storage. But as a Team we needed 1 "Server" and 1 Calendar for us all together. I then called Microsoft Helpline, they understood my Problem und told me to connect Sharepoint to Teams.
Anyway , could you tell me how to add the Library as a tab ? Maybe this will work 🙂
And yes , the link explained the same issue, i voted.
Thank You
Marc
