No it still hasn't. And now its **bleep**ing 2024.
Asshats at MS are making working harder with every update.

Hi Jim
I am using New Teams. When I go to the General channel > Files, and click on the ellipse to the right of the file I want to work with, the menu that opens has an Open option. When you click on that option, a sub-menu opens. One of the options is to 'Open in app' That option should open the desktop version. (see attached png)

  No it doesn't.
  I am trying to share a Files area folder link in a team post and all I get is a Sharepoint link.
  Samething when I want a link to a document.
  Although we only allow opening Office docs in desktop application because web/teams versions destroy document formatting.
  Teams still suck.
