I have a spreadsheet that I update frequently. I'd like to move it from my local folder to a Teams/Files folder. If the file is in Teams, can I create a desktop shortcut to the file so I can open it quickly?

SolutionAnother option is inside of Teams:
You should now have a shortcut directly to the file.

Thanks to you both for the suggestions.

I can't believe that something so superficial hasn't been built into Teams yet! No one in my company uses Teams now. One reason is all the dead ends we run into, after you have exerted a ton of effort to set up a space, and then we run into dozens of frustrations like this one.
Can you imagine explaining these instructions to a group of marketeers (or any other team of employees who aren't specialists in software)? First they throw you into the pond, and then they throw more money at microsoft for unusable products.

To you who offered such creative solutions, thank you.

Thank you for the information! However, when I tried to use Chrome to set up the shortcut, it did not work for others. I created the shortcut, and it works for my computer, but if I put the shortcut on the network and others try to use it, it only opens up Chrome, not the file. Please help. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
