SharePoint & Teams Folder/Directory structure
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.
Hmm.... that makes sense. But this is the default of what a mapped SharePoint drive looks like. This is a brand new SharePoint account, a week old. I don't see a 'Sites' folder. Wish I did, that could be the solution to my madness.
Hi jeffburkholder. If you want to map a network drive to modern team sites, check out Zee Drive as it has http://www.thinkscape.com/Map-Network-Drives-To-Office-365-OneDrive/#TeamsFiles. You can view all your team site files from File Explorer.

Myles Jeffery Thanks for that link. It's kind'a crazy to think that we'd need a 3rd party app to do what the OS should be able to do. I can map a SharePoint Drive, why can't we map Teams drives and be able to set for our Users specific mapping so they can screw things up. But then I guess that's why Teams is created it's the simple way to keep the Users inside Teams and that structure, as IT manager I want to be able to quickly go into the Teams SharePoint structure from a Mapped drive and be able to navigate to any Team, subDir. as needed. Because sometimes things need to be cleaned up and Teams isn't the greatest thing for that.
Again, Teams Dev team sure would be nice to have Shortcuts to SharePoint structure and sub-Folders. Without having to show the whole SharePoint Dir. structure. There's no reason for Marketing Dept. to see Operations archive or structure.
- You can map / sync these libraries but as said, every team is it’s own site collection meaning there isn’t this old sharepoint structure with sub sites and sub folders
- I see you srebusing webdav to msp the SharePoint folders! I would not recommend doing this and use the syncing mechanism instead! Theres now Gpos that can handle that for you ( with some limitations )
About links, this is another story! I guess you could add any library as a tab, mess with links etc, but I would rather recommend that u actually start adoring users to Teams in the way it’s suppose to be!I'm ok with forcing my User to use Teams and that structure, but sure would be nice to see the Teams Site Dir. structure within the Root of SharePoint (as showed default new setup of SharePoint and Teams). I'm literally setting up a new structure, it's only a week old. This screen capture shows the structure I want to keep Users into with SharePoint. Be nice to have a shortcut of the Marketing Dir. inside Teams without that group seeing the whole SP drive. Note that that's the root of SP Shared Documents. My previous screen shot above is the default SharePoint.... where's the Teams Library?
BTW- I'm on Win7Pro.cant see any screenshots? jeffburkholder
