How do I download a FULL folder or nest it within another? I easily can in BOX or Dropbox, etc.
How do I download a FULL folder or nest it within another? I easily can in BOX or Dropbox, etc. Not sure what I'm doing wrong? Clients just switched to TEAMS from BOX and just moving files around or downloading is taking me about 30x longer? I'm using the TEAMS app on the Mac. What am I missing?

Hi heyjoegfx,
You can click (Open in SharePoint) and then you can Download a folder.

NunoAriasSilva Thanks, that does EXACTLY what I needed. Can't believe they don't simply have that functionality enabled in the TEAMS app?
Hi heyjoegfx,
Is not possible at the moment, but you can vote it at Uservoice here https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/33341683-download-folders

Hi heyjoegfx ,
I think the answer is OneDrive for business Sync client.
Click Open in SharePoint on the files Tab and then hit Sync. You will need to install the OneDrive App on your Mac if you dont already have it.
Doing that replicates the files in Teams on your computer and gives you same file navigation in File Explorer as Box/Drop Box etc.
Hope that helps.

- Looks like I can do everything I need by just opening in SharePoint in a browser without needing to install the sync. The functionality is on the SharePoint page for my content. Weird that it's not in Microsoft's OWN Teams app?
heyjoegfx these functionalities should be coming with the new Files Tab replacement coming (latest is be end of this month) that takes SharePoint and makes it the default experience for the files tab.
