Is it possible to open and edit files in Teams that are not in a Teams cloud storage provider.
Hi,
My company has a cloud storage system that our customers would lime to be able to use with Teams.
We are working on an app to do this but we need some way of being able to open files that are outside of the storage provided by the cloud storage providers supported by Microsoft.
Is this possible from with in Teams and if so how can it best be done.

BLeslie - Could you please provide more details on your ask?
In Teams I can go to the Files tab and click on a file and it is opened in Teams, or I can right click it and choose from a list of actions to take which include the possibility to open the file with a local app.
I would like to provide a "My Files" tab that offers the same functionality except that the files in my tab will be under my app's control and not be in a Microsoft cloud storage provider storage location.
My app will download the file but I need someway to open the file without having the user leave Teams and open it manually.
Is this possible or will my user need to leave Teams and then manually open the file in the file system?
