Teams document links only open in browser not in app

Hi!

I cannot find a way to change my settings so that document- or folder-links sent in emails open directly in the teams app and not my browser. In my previous workplace this just happened automatically, but in my new job (new PC and new settings) all links sent in emails created by clicking "copy link" in teams app seem to open in the browser even though I have the app installed and opened.

 

I see there are some old threads on this topic, but they are not helpful and I'm hoping that there is some easy settings solutions that I just don't see..

    Hi Kamilla, 

     

    Sure I get you. AFAIK it's because sharing links no longer Teams based links, they are full SharePoint links because Teams has fully aligned to the SharePoint/OneDrive sharing experience. When you used to do sharing links, it was designed to go within Teams. A sharing link today will be something like 'https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/:f:/r/sites/Name' which will automatically trigger to go via a browser session because SharePoint is browser based. 

     

    If this is something you want to see reintroduced I would personally raise a feedback uservoice at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/

     

    Hope that provides an answer to your question

     

    Best, Chris
