Onedrive housed in teams

    You shouldn't be using OneDrive as a shared account as that just breaks Office. You have a SharePoint inside of Teams so use that. Asking for an "easy button" is the sort of thing that gets bosses made fun of on the internet.

     

    Move your shared files into the Teams SharePoint, and put links to the storage folder into your individual OneDrive accounts.

My boss doesn't want to click around a bunch and just wants it available in teams. This would also need to be accessible to external guests.

From a usage point of view this explains nothing.
Your boss needs to have someone explain how Teams storage works.

OneDrive can be connected to Teams but it's not gonna work like he thinks it might. In fact trying to make this work will be an enormous headache for everyone.

If he "doesn't want to click around a lot" then a link to the Teams Channel SharePoint folder can be added to his OneDrive, but the rest is simply not a coherent request.
