'Copy Link' for Folder/Files does not work in Teams

[Henry Edwards]

When you access a document library using the website/SharePoint tab and click on 'copy Link' the dialog opens up and has a spinning circle constantly, doesn't load.

@Ugh. Yes, same problem. I think I've been through every solution in this thread (thank you all SO much for your postings!) but no joy yet.

I've gotta walk away for 2 weeks to get over the frustration then I'll attack again!

[#3]

@Henry Edwards Me Too!  This has been a problem for over a month, although it has worked intermittently in the past week or so (though not working now).  Very frustrating.

[#4]

Us too.  Our whole organization is down.  Sharepoint workaround works for some and not others and I'm not equipped to troubleshoot sharepoint independently from Teams.  Please fix this microsoft.

[#5]

And the COPY LINK works fine from an Edge (Beta) browser. Just not the Teams App.

[#6]

Cheers Eric that is very useful to know but it still does not copy a link to the Teams folder rather than SharePoint. Do you know if that functionality was ever available or did Teams always open SharePoint sites from a link?

[#7]

@Paul_IQPC The copy link button has always worked to copy links directly within Teams until the last couple of months.  Opening the site from SharePoint is only a workaround.

I found it may help to delete the folder "%appdata%\Microsoft\Teams" in order to rebuild the cash.
No guarantee if this helps for others like it did for me.

[#9]

Thansks for that - at least I know it doesn't work like it should :)

[#10]

+1 to this issue.
Clearing cache and all that does not help at all. BUT I use the sharepoint web interface now - this works fine.

[#11]

Had the same issue for months and just randomly started working for me few days ago...

@Vgrodz 

Hah! At this point, after trying so many things, I'm all-in on the "randomly started working" part!

[#13]

Hello,

any news from Microsoft?

[#14]

Mine started working in the last few days

[#15]

Microsoft acknowledged that it's a known issue for them and they are working to fix it. No ETA at the moment.

@Tadas Burovas Thanks for the update Tadas - but i wouldn't hold you breath for a quick fix. This has been going on for months

@David Schrag thankyou very much for the update.

[#19]

Exactly the same problem for me; I sure miss putting links in messages to get my users to the exact team channel quickly.

[#20]

This seems to have started working for us again (knock wood). Hasn't been a problem for me for several days. My guess would be that Microsoft's fix is rolling through its infrastructure.

[#21]

Similar issue but with a new twist. For Months I've gotten the blank popup box with the eternal spinning wheel. Now all the sudden the "Copy Link" button is completely non-responsive. Click it and get NOTHING. Same behavior on different systems and with different users.
