    Alright so I checked MS Teams today
    And it has been resolved
    I am able to see the Teams link too

    It has been solved
    Probably you may need to check with your IT Administrators.

    Same issue here. It is not possible to share links anymore with guest users, as they cannot access Sharepoint links, but only Teams links. This is impacting our business.

      When I click on Copy Link, the link contains the organizations root SharePoint site (i.e. contoso0.sharepoint.com) and a path to the file in Teams. As it should since the foundation for all Teams is SharePoint.

       

      For your Guests to access the file via the link, they need to be added to the Team, or the SharePoint site because only team members can see files that were shared in Teams.

       

      If you are sharing files located in Teams, the Guest has to be a member of the Team and also have access to the Channel where the file(s) is/are stored.

       

      If you are sharing a file with a Guest from a SharePoint site, you need to make that Guest an external member.

       

      If you are unable to add a Guest User in Teams or in SharePoint, please check with your Administrator and ask what permissions Guest have in your Tenet.

        Thank you, CheWeigand, for explaining how clicking in links to teams documents actually works -- exactly as described by the OP.
        OP requested a way to "directly share the link to my peers so that they can directly access the link from Teams [desktop app] without having to go to another external page."
        I would really appreciate the same. Has anyone arrived at a solution, whereby they can provide a link to a folder in MS Teams that will actually cause the folder to be opened in the user's Teams Desktop App, instead of in a Web browser that presents a SharePoint page?
