Hi rodneyc8063 ,

 

Not easily, it'll depend on the exact type of link as there are a few different, but typically it will look like

 

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/file/DC79781D-CE8F-40D1-82F1-1A5907DE2183?tenantId=6598895a-119b-4f0e-8b60-6d5a7f1fce68&fileType=xlsx&objectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fhawkinsavclub.sharepoint.com%2Fteams%2FStarcourt%2FShared%20Documents%2F-%20%F0%9F%92%B8%20Suppliers%2FResponses.xlsx&baseUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fhawkinsavclub.sharepoint.com%2Fteams%2FStarcourt&serviceName=teams&threadId=19:12cfa85014444936b151eed458f8b0f4@thread.skype&groupId=8ae56ef3-3d67-4a6c-9795-165ef2a4881e

 

I've highlighted in red the Teams name.

 

Now the issue seems to be your new colleagues are seeing something for you in Teams and sharing a link, which is kinda weird behaviour. Why not add you to the Team and then just @ you against the file.
