PDostiyar- this doesnt seem to look - how I would like it to.  I know that teams members would not go to 'other document library' to find a file.  they would notice that it is not in the Team are and think it does not exist.

I would really like it to appear in the Teams folder along with other document and files.

Is that possible?

eedwards2024  Hi the Files tab in each Channel is pointing to a specific folder within the SharePoint site for the Channel so when you select the File tab you will only show the files in the specific folder. If you want to see files in other folders or documents libraries you have set up in the Teams SharePoint site or indeed another SharePoint site you can add in a new Tab to one or more channels and link to a SharePoint Document library, SharePoint Page or SharePoint list

    thanks for the useful feedback.  I have managed to show the file in the Teams folder now, by 'following' the SharePoint site.  This allowed me to duplicate the file so it shows in Teams.  Good result!
