I am on latest Win 11 Beta and Teams Preview 1.5.00.11070 (64-bit) but cannot change the defaualt location nor toggle the Always ask in the Files Setting. Have tried to deactivate and reactivate Public Preview, quit and restart Teams but to no success. Anyone have tried it too?
Thanks

Thanks for sharing the feedback.

Can you please confirm - if the settings are available under files but you can not change them or the settings itself are not available ?

Are there indications as to when this feature will go live? I am direly waiting for it and can't enable preview for me since my administrator is not willing to activate it.

    Soumitra Paul functionality is not available in public preview for menu (there is no option to change the download target in the Files tab. Files menu only allows me to change the "open with", nothing else is there.
