Create shortcuts to folders in Teams client?

Hi,

 

In my Teams desktop client I have a team with a channel with a tab connected to a Sharepoint document library. I use certain subfolders frequently and would like to create a shortcut to them. 

I tried creating a new tab, but it only accepts URLs to the root of the document library.

Is there a way to create shortcuts to specific folders in the desktop client?

 

Cheers,

Jan

    I guess you could click the properties of that sub folder and choose “get link” -> paste somewhere in Teams

  • Create a New Page on the attached SharePoint site. Add Document library webpart. Edit webpart options where you can pick a start folder to the sub folder. Add this SharePoint page as a tab in Teams. This should work.

      ChrisWebbTech I found this solution more difficult. I couldn't get the document library webpart to open in the required subfolder. The best I could do was to configure the title link above the webpart to the required subfolder.

      Promising idea, but the webpage first requires me to sign in again (which is a hassle with our two step authentication) and then the page doesn't load correctly. It then refers me to the web version of Teams.
