MS Teams File Management vs Sharepoint
1. The first wave of improvements is already here, there has been suggesting that they are working on adding the ability to define metadata which is a bit of an omission at this point. More or less other SharePoint features are now available.
2. Why? There is something coming to give you a breadcrumb in the files view to get back up to the top level. You can use the Add Cloud Storage today to add a virtual directory to link to the root. I would generally just suggest using channels, and navigate there to find your conversations and files.
3. In general we are moving away from older concepts of document management, many things just happen automatically like versioning, automatic classifiers, and new Syntex for tagging and organisation. In general we just plan and configure then allow the platform to do the work.

Thank you for your input Steven.
Regarding your question around why, simply put, it is for organization. As a project manager that is responsible for overall scope, it is more efficient to be able to have a single point of entry into all documentation related to the project similar to an explorer/sharepoint root folder.
Does anyone else have any best practices or process standardization for their respective organizations around Teams file management?
