Microsoft Teams Chat Files Folder missing
Hi there, In my org's installation, files that are shared in a chat are stored in the personal OneDrive folder "Microsoft Teams Chat Files". However, at another org there is no folder like that. ...
TonyRedmond, I finally had the chance to talk to the other org. We created a new document and shared it in a private chat. It did not appear in the "Teams Chat Files Folder", the original was shared instead.
There was a misconception about how files are shared that are already stored in OneDrive. If you share a local file or a file stored in SPO it will be copied to the Teams Chat Files Folder and the original remains untouched in its place. But if you share a file from your OneDrive it will just be shared with the participants without being copied to the given folder.
I guess that's it.
Thank you all for helping and testing!
Hi! Its only stored with the person sharing the file! Are you sure you have looked at people that have actually shared a file in a private chat? And not just someone that have been shared with? The folder will get created once this happens
Hey Adam, yes. But I will check once again as I myself still cannot believe it's not there. 😄
- Just start a chat with anybody and share a file from the chat! Check your Onedrive after this! Make sure it’ll it’s your corporate Onedrive account, in case you have a personal etc..
That's the plan. I'll be back... 🙂 Thanx!
