'Copy Link' for Folder/Files does not work in Teams

When you access a document library using the website/SharePoint tab and click on 'copy Link' the dialog opens up and has a spinning circle constantly, doesn't load.

    Great

    It works for me as well!!!
    Strange thing is mine updated 8th of june but only today it worked

    Yesterday I thought, how can this still be possible as I had this issue for a very long period of time 

    (opening the Team in SharePoint the copy link always did work as workaround)

    but happy now 🙂

Henry Edwards as an update I had to kill some tasks in Task Manager and so I killed Teams as well. Now when I reopen it the links seem to work - weird. Hope this helps everyone

    Sorry my bad - it opens the main Teams channel but NOT individual folder links - so the problem still exists
    Florisz  I have tried clearing the cache and even deleting all the temp files as explained here https://www.technipages.com/fix-microsoft-teams-hyperlinks-not-working but still no joy. SO as far as I am concerned the problem still exists

      I cleared cache, uninstalled and reinstalled teams and I still can't "copy links" in teams Paul_IQPC 

       

      I have to open the channel or folder in sharepoint to copy links. 

       

      this is happening in my new laptop not the old one and what's strange is that the are both the same Lenovo Thinkpad laptops 

       

      Has anyone from Microsoft been able to look into this and find a resolution?

        My issues with Copy Link were resolved by Microsoft with the following update:

         

        1.5.00.12969 (64-bit). It was last updated on 5/28/2022.

      Exactly the same problem for me; I sure miss putting links in messages to get my users to the exact team channel quickly.

    I already tried this and uninstalled-reinstalled teams, cleaning cache. By coincidence I even got a new laptop,
    I think you are just lucky for now/today. In the last weeks I had it working once as well.
