In my testing, still, the "Get link" function supports two types of links (Teams and SharePoint links), but only for the specific type of files (ex: Excel, Word, etc) which can be opened from Teams client. 

 

Hope you can get Teams URL only for Office files (Excel, Word, PDF, PPTX) and when you try the "Get link" feature for image files (ex: .png), you will see the SharePoint URL alone.

Kevin_Morgan has this now changed? I'm only getting the Sharepoint one, I'm testing with .docx files. This means the links open within your browser, rather than within Teams, which is what I want. Existing Teams links still work, but I can't seem to create new ones.

    In my latest testing, still the Get Link (Copy link) for .docx file working fine.

      Kevin_Morgan Just noticed a difference, in your image, the option is "Get Link". Our only option is "Copy Link".

      Kevin_Morgan I tried it at home last night on the free version, and still get the two options. Can it be disabled by admin?
