Unable to Get Link for MS Teams directly, getting SharePoint instead
CheWeigand
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.
Hi Jim,
Sorry, thought your last post was referring to opening a doc within Teams. You are right. The sharing issue with Guests has not been resolved.
- And I don't share with Guests. Our Teams are for colleagues/membersin my org only.
Ah, yes. In New Teams open Settings > Files and Links.
Under File open preference click the dropdown arrow and choose 'Teams', 'Desktop app', or 'Browser'This settings preference may change if MS pushes a big update to New Teams.
For sharing with everyone in your Org ----- Teams ain't gonna do it. You could create a SharePoint site open to everyone in your Org (Public - Teams SP sites are Private to owners and members of the Team). Post files that are meant for everyone in your Org in that Public SP site.
Work around? Yes.
- The same thing with Docs. But New Teams also refces to obey setting to always open Office Docs in desktop app.
I HATE Microsoft. My work takes twice the time these days. There is no natural workflow with document handling.
