SharePoint & Teams Folder/Directory structure
I'm having issue with how SharePoint and Teams integrate... well, kinda don't. Why can't SharePoint see the folders that are made in Teams? It creates sites based on them, but why can't SharePoint ...
It sounds like your 'company SharePoint drive' is mapped to a specific site collection - most likely the 'tenant root' site collection - the url of which would be https://<tenantname>.sharepoint.com/
Each Team gets its own site collection - for example if you created a Team called Finance, the url would, by default, be https://<tenantname>.sharepoint.com/sites/Finance
Each channel in the Finance Team gets a folder in the document library in that site collection, so for example the General channel folder url is:
https://<tenantname>.sharepoint.com/sites/Finance/Shared%20Documents/General
If you want to continue with the mapped drive idea, you would need to have different mapped drives for each Team - or perhaps configure it so that the T: drive maps to the Finance Team for finance users, and the T: drive maps to the HR Team for HR users, etc. Then keep the company SharePoint drive as a kind of 'common' drive.
