Sharing files between teams
I am wondering whay method people use to share a specific file or folder with another team. In our example. we have a team that takes pictures. Those picture get uploade into teams. They share ...
- Exactly as Adam suggested here. Have a central library on the SharePoint Site of the Team that would "Own" the photos. Someone has to own the entity. This could be on your Corporate homepage etc.
Set permissions to the Teams that need to be able to edit and read etc. Then add the library as a Tab to your general channel in your team and let people know to Upload there or you can make it a sub folder in a files tab of a photos channel, and linked to the other library via the + add cloud storage option. This makes a virtual folder to the library in that files tab to the other library. It could be called "Shared Photos" or "Company Photos" etc. so it shows up that way int he files tab of the channel you add it too.
thanks, sounds like i was on the right track. I do wish you could use the cloud storage option to link to a specific folder of a document library. But this will work for now.
thanks
thanks
Glad I came about this post. Challenge with Sharepoint is that its not designed for easy administration-ie typical end user. Whereas Teams makes it easy for you to see who has access to what. Thinking of this method where Teams are created with access to all in company including guests to relevant Teams. Teams are marked PUBLIC in bold, then actual HR members requiring access are in private channels. So for eg. HR has General as public but private channel as just their members(these are pinned for their easy access). then channels for specifically sharing across departments and to guests. This allows owner of their respective Teams to easily see who has access to what and to share across Teams and to external guests. Is there a more elegant way without Sharepoint admin?
- Agree - facing the same problem - having an open access sharepoint, or separate administration from the teams is challenging, as it prevents easy access restriction management (which is a strength of teams).
Has anyone identified a potential solution within Teams itself? Would surprise me that a collaboration tool does not consider cross-team collaboration!
