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-like

Thanks

Hi Marc_MKH ,

The only way I can get an Excel Web version like your second screenshot is to interface with it via SharePoint directly.

So I would comeback to the tab if you want the more familiar experience and choose a tab of type SharePoint Document Library and Not SharePoint (that gives you the options to reference a Page or List).

So this one:

But in the other instance if it works, you essentially just click back or away from it or comeback in the breadcrumb trail:

So for example I am in an XLSX within the General Folder of the TechCommunity library. So I could just click on TechCommunity to go back to the level where the document is housed or leave.

Thanks

Henry
