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

I have the same problem... sometimes! I am in several Teams and own a couple. In SOME channels, when you click on the FILES tab, then go down any number of levels into folders and subfolders and then click on a file, it opens to view/edit in the Teams app. But when you click the BACK arrow, it takes you all the way back to the root folder of the FILES tab. So to open another file in the same sub-folder, you have to retrace your steps, which is a real time-wasting pain.
But in SOME channels (inexplicably), clicking the BACK arrow just takes you make to the folder that contained the file you were viewing (this is what Teams SHOULD do).
Bill Davis I have come across this problem today. So the default files tab in a channel will work as expected and bring you back to the folder you were in. But adding a Sharepoint tab to a channel will work unexpectedly and pop you back to the root folder when closing a document.
However, I am not sure why HenryPhillipsNimbitech solution to this thread worked for the OP as doing this solution is how I came across the problem in the first place!!?
