"Copy Link" to get URL to a folder in Teams does not always work properly - incorrect link copied
I have had mixed success copying the link of a FOLDER in a teams folder, and pasting it into a post. Since I often remove and upload new files, I don't like to link to individual files in my posts, ...
PeterRising - We are all working within Teams, so I don't want to send people to a SharePoint link (plus copying that link is not an option when I'm clicking on the Teams folder), so even if it were more reliable (it probably is), I wouldn't want to use it.
Now I see at if you OPEN a folder and go to the top there is a "Copy Link" which gives me both options. Perhaps that "Copy Link" command is more reliable than the one at the level above when you click on the "..." to the right of the folder itself.
When in the folder, the "Copy Link" URL looks like this:
https://teams.microsoft.com/_#/files/General? ...blahblahblah..%252FRoles%2520and%2520Responsibilities which is correct..
When outside the folder, selecting the folder, the "..." and "Copy Link", the URL looks like this:
https://teams.microsoft.com/_#/apps/...blahblahblah....thread.tacv2 and brings me to the top folder, which is incorrect.
At least I found a workaround - but maybe should be logged as a bug!

Hi,
when I copy the URL inside the folder or outside I get the same wrong direction when clicking on the link that I paste. Really annoying.
