Is it possible to remove a cloud storage connection without removing the underlying files?
Hi everyone, recently I added our SharePoint as cloud storage to one of our teams (when in fact I just wanted to link the Files-tab to the SharePoint). Now the files tab shows next to the teams f...
- You wont be deleting the sharepoint library or any files within it !! it’s just the sharepoint library tab that you will remove! So it’s alright :)

I don’t know if I understood you correctly but it seems like you added another library which is connected to another team?
Well I think I might have...
We have a team with multiple subteams for each customer. In one of those subteams I think I added the mainteams files as the SP-connection, because in the subteam I have the subteams files and then a folder with SP-icon names <mainteam>_Documents.

- Aha, i get it now :) the subteams aren’t really teams but “channels” of a Team! Aka a folder in SharePoint! What is your purpose of adding it? As you said yourself you will only get the root of that library with all of the channel folders by doing this! You can however create another library in that TeamSite and add that instead
- As I mentioned we have a subteam/channel for each customer in our "workforce" team. To save customer specific files I wanted to link to a folder on the Sharepoint for the customer. I guess I was expecting to be able to create a folder on the Sharepoint which the team would then link to :)
But to come back to my initial question: Its still save to click "Delete" when I'm in the subteam/channel and I wont remove all the "main" teams files and folders?- But each files tab links to that corresponding folder in SP!
And yes, in teams you can safely remove the SP tab
