Programatically accessing files shared in teams

[cklapperichmn]

My group has filed stored in teams channels. They're basically using excel files for data entry. I'd like to access them automatically/programatically for data analysis.

Ideally in Python, but I'm open to any language.

ANY solution that automatically mirrors a Teams file to a hard drive would be wonderful as an alternative. 

There is a REST API for 365 but it doesn't seem to provide the functionality I need based on the Microsoft.com docs, it's only for accessing files in public chat?

See my stack overflow post here if you want to dive into some code: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57103597/grabbing-files-from-microsoft-teams-using-python?noredi...

Hi @cklapperichmn,

I hope I get your needs right. From my point of view, you just need to build a flow that copies the files from the SharePoint Online folder to another place where you can grab them? Maybe you should have a look at this option...

@svenseidenbergThanks so much. You have a good grasp of my problem/needs, yp!

I manged to set up a "folder sync" that moves them to a local place on my C:\ drive but a network drive would be cooler. Now people edit documents in teams and it shows up on my hard drive! I can't figure out how to change the sync to another folder. is there a way to do this?

Or, any good tutorials for setting up a flow to move from Sharepoint to a network dir?

Thanks.
