There's now a roadmap item for this issue!

 

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=72211

 

Microsoft Teams: Pairing the channel and the corresponding SharePoint folder name.

When renaming a Teams’ channel, the corresponding SharePoint folder will be renamed and reflect the new name. This will help create consistency across Microsoft 365 endpoints, making it easier on users to find their files from anywhere. This new feature will be available for all Standard and Private channels. For Standard channels – The corresponding folder in SharePoint will be renamed. For Private channels – The corresponding site name and the folder in SharePoint will be renamed. For legacy Teams channels that were renamed prior to this rollout, there will be no change in experience. When a legacy channel is renamed after this release, it will simultaneously rename the corresponding SharePoint folder.

Are there any further details on expected behavior for these changes? I've tested by updating both Standard and Private channels in Teams and the folder names have not been updated in SharePoint hours later (although the site name was immediately updated for the Private channel). Yet, if I try to change the folder names directly in SharePoint, I get an error message: "Error: To update this folder, go to the channel in Microsoft Teams." Really frustrating that there is so little info available about this from Microsoft.
