'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 🙂

Today, instead of an ever spinning wheel I got served with an actual error when I click on the 'Copy link' in the ribbon of the Microsoft Teams Windows Desktop app on the root folder 'Documents/General'. When I click on 'Copy link' on a sub folder or selected file of 'General' I get served with the SharePoint link. But no Teams link anymore...😥😥.

Click on 'Show detals' ;

Click on 'Copy' ;

Florisz Henry Edwards Hi all - I can see that the links now work to Sharepoint but does not open the link in Teams itself :cry::cry::cry:. Does anyone know if this is actually possible. I do not particularly want to direct users from Teams to SharePoint, it will just serve to confuse them moving from Teams to Sharepoint and then back again.:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

For example when I copy a Channel link, I get a link to Teams e.g. https://teams.microsoft.com/channel/etc.. however when I copy a folder in a channel I get a link to SharePoint e.g. https://awspls.sharepoint.com/etc - I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to overcome this if it even possible.

 

cheers

    As per the initial reporter, in the Teams desktop this functionality appears to be broken for some.

        Paul_IQPC , the original functionality was that after click on the 'Copy link' you would get a popup with 2 tabs. First for the link within MS Teams and second for link to SharePoint. Although the link for Teams was quite ugly as it was a very long link, it was quite functional to keep everything within Teams.
        Than the spinning wheel started some weeks/months ago and now we(I) have half the functionality back with links to SharePoint only and not working on the library root folder(General) and files in that folder.
        It is obvious that there is some work going on at Microsoft. But it would have been nice if they shared a little info so we know what to expect.
        The only thing I know is that they are working on a more seamless Woking together between Teams and SharePoint;
        https://admin.microsoft.com/AdminPortal/home#/MessageCenter/:/messages/MC306666?MCLinkSource=MajorUpdate

        But this is just an educated guess.

        Edit: I just realise this link is behind admin center password.

        The message is about;

        Pairing naming convention between Teams channels and corresponding SharePoint folders;
