"You don't have access to this file" (only) when opening files within Teams
When opening files within Teams I get the message "You don't have access to this file." even if I'm the owner of the files. I have seen the same issue accross multiple tenants/organisations.
Opening the same files in browser or desktop app works fine.
This was not an issue some weeks ago.
Is there a setting that has been changed by MS over the last month (july 2022), or is this a bug in Teams?
Anyone experiencing the same issue can alleviate the pain by going to: Settings -> Files -> Change the default program to use when opening a file to browser or desktop app
- Same problem for some users in my organization. I solved this clearing the Teams cache. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/troubleshoot/teams-administration/clear-teams-cache

- Hi rfavini
Clearing the cache does fix the problem, but this is not an effective solution for an entire organisation.
Thanks anyways!- Hi bookkeeper92, for now it seems to work for us but if I have updates I will inform you. Of course, it is to be applied on every client where the problem occurs and it could be challenging.
- Hello
I am experiencing the same, if I know more I'll let you know, thanks for sharing the workaround!
