Is possible to configure in a teams group conversation the repository of files of that conversation?

Hello:

 

I need to be able to configure a specific repository files where people of teams conversation group can save files. Only for that conversation.I describe the scenario:

 

I need to create, dynamically, different group conversations depending on what theme is discussed, i will add different members to every conversation.

I will create a new specific folder (each time) in a teams channel group where only all conversation members and channel members will have all permissions.

Is it possible to configure the repository of files for each conversation so that it points to the folder created and shared in teams channel? (see image attached)

 

If it's possible, I need to know which are the commands or functions that permits that.
I would like to use them in powerapps program.

 

Thank you very much.

  • francescjpfor each new conversation, create a new folder in the Teams channel's SharePoint document library. This folder will serve as the repository for files related to that conversation.

    Then configure the permissions for the newly created folder to ensure that only the conversation members and channel members have access. You can do this by modifying the folder's permissions in SharePoint.

      Thank you for your answer. If people upload a file in conversation, it will be uploaded in the default repository of conversation. It's not a good solution. You have to control what happens with files in conversation. 

      The files uploaded in group conversation are located in certain folder of one drive of the person who creates it. All files of all conversations are stored in same folder. 
      It would be a great idea to be able to select, for every conversation, the SharePoint folder where to store files. All members would have access rights to that folder automatically.


      It would be very useful to manage and organize these files. I have exposed the idea to Microsoft Teams. I hope people vote it and can be added as new feature.

        There is an Power Shell option to hide Files Tab but it's impossible to redirect repository files tab to a specific folder. It would be a great new feature.
