SharePoint & Teams Folder/Directory structure
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.
How do I map to the Team folder with the subfolder in the mapped drive? I'd not have to map to each and every folder as their own drive. That would be 7 mappings just for Marketing Dept. Is there a way in Win7Pro to map to the Group's upper level drive? Or is every Channel it's own drive folder location?
- Have you considered syncing folders instead?
And no, you can just sync the root of the library and you will get all the folders ( channels )adam deltinger thanks Adam, I'll research it.
Still would love to be able to directly access Teams Folders from within the Root of SharePoint. And as I said be able to make shortcuts to folders that are specific to that Group of the SharePoint 'Shared Docs. folder. Just seems counter intuitive if Users map the whole Domains SharePoint. Just leads to duplication of files.
Or I guess have to just live in Teams as a semi-clunky, slow management method. Then direct Users in SharePoint Sites to their Team Groups that way. Hmmm, such a simple request of why can't I see as Admin the Teams Libraries and why can't SharePoint Folders be easily individually linked into the Teams structure.
MS you guys brainwashed us on Dir./Folder structure since Windows 1 and when we had the introduction of SharePoint we got a nice methodology and structure. Now there's this and it don't integrate easily in your original OS design.
