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!
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!
