closing Documents in Teams, returning to Root Directory
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

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
- You are in luck as it sounds like Microsoft Lists would be right up your street as there are many types, some of which are Calendar based.
Think of Microsoft Lists as a self contained SharePoint list that can be used in its own right and separate app.
So to add a tab you should have an add option to the right of your existing tabs. Click this and then choose the Microsoft Lists option.
If you want to do this a bit more traditionally then you could go to the SharePoint site that backs your Team, by going to Files tab > open in SharePoint. Click on home to get into the right context > New > APP. Search for and select Calendar list.
Now back in Teams you should be able to add a tab that makes use of that list.
Thank
HenryYes this is it ! It works, i have now a tab named Documents. One thing that changed is that now i have a different Excell App within Teams. ( see 2 screenshots) This Excell App seems better but i cant find the "close" Button.
Hi Marc_MKH ,
So I presume we are talking about the second screenshot as the first one has a close towards the top right.
As for the second it looks to me like you have added a tab directly to an Excel document, so to close is effectively to move away from that tab as the tab is the document. To close the document would be essentially needing to remove the tab.I have to ask and I am glad you are happy and if it works it works. But are you using an Excel spreadsheet for your Calendar.
If so I would still strongly look into Microsoft Lists or a SharePoint list. Or even consider something like Planner if you are wanting to manage tasks as a Team.Also just for completeness you could also add a SharePoint Document library as a tab, that contains the Excel document, that way you would get the usual close.
Also you could just pin the document, so have it in say Files and do this sort of thing:
Looks like this above all other docs:
You also get the option to make any document a tab more easily doing this:
Thanks
Henry
