Preview doc from Teams Files tab dumps back to root
I have a client who has tens of thousands of files spread out over multiple document libraries in a single Team/Sharepoint site. in order to allow browsing to each of those document libraries we added links to them with "Add Cloud Storage" button.
When a document is opened or previewed in Teams it opens fine, but when you close the preview it dumps you back to the root of the Files tab. I've experienced this in multiple Teams environments in desktop, mobile, browser and multiple tenants.
Anyone have a workaround besides opening the folder in Sharepoint first or open in desktop? We are trying to limit the number of synced libraries also, so syncing everything to OneDrive is also not a good solution.
Hi prophoto ,
I would normally create a page in the SharePoint site(or use the homepage) and add in some navigation to the document libraries (quick links) that exist in the site and then add that SharePoint page to the Team as a tab, call it something like "Team Documents".
Opening a file will open in the Browser, which when closing the location of the file will be maintained in Teams.
