Is a co-worker outside my Team able to find document (Excel, word, etc) saved in my private team?
- It should not be. Private Teams were supposed to be discoverable at some point but I don’t think that has gone live just yet. Was the request from teams or sharepoint? You should be able to look at the history and see who it was asking. Ask that user how.
ChrisWebbTech Thanks so much for your reply. As you mentioned, if I understood correctly, if someone of my Team tries to share a file with a person outside of my team it makes sense. But no one of my Team intends to share a file or invite anyone else. So i have no idea how the person could know there is a file which might interest him/her. Anyway this time I declined the request so I will never know who it was and how they found (which I little bit regret about.. ) . One possibility only I can think is the file tab in MS teams is linked into Sharepoint folder (right?) so he/she might found the file there. While I don't want to do so but maybe the Sherepoint folder is accessible from any one in my company. (really not sure it can be so or not..)
- That’s what I was guessing too. Now I am pretty sure of that. Thank you so much for your advice! Next I’ll try to find out the history of SharePoint as you suggest. Thank you so much again!
