How to find the directory of a file-path from the file?
Can we see the full-directory-path clearly from the file? I can open this from here but I still can't get to the folder where it stored.
ChrisWebbTech Here are steps that I used
A lot more long-winded than I like, but it works...
- When the doc is opened in Teams click on the ellipse (...) next to the 'Close' button and pick open in browser.
- The url in the browser will tell you which Teams/Sharepoint Site it lives in.
- Go to the relevant SharePoint Site and then pick the 'Documents' tab (Menu along the left)
- Then use the Search-bar on top of the page ('Search this Library'). Ideally you must know the name of the doc (or part of) to do this.
- When you find the doc in the results, click on the ellipse (…) in front of it and pick 'Details'
- In the Details column that opens on the right, scroll down till you see 'Path'
Unfortunately, the process by KevinFrancke is the fastest way to show fullpath of all the examples given. I am sure this has been submitted to TEAMS for consideration.
I tried this evening with current UI to find the file in teams, open the file (in a browser), select the 2nd hotlink in the location box to browse to the folder containing file on SharePoint, select details for file by clicking ellipse after filename, scrolling down to bottom of popup to Path.
Why the obfuscation of file path in SharePoint folders?
