Teams get link function only shows sharepoint link
Hi, Team owner A suddenly can't create Teams Link to a pdf, only Sharepoint Link. Owner B can, so can members. Why does this happen? IT administration did not change any sharing options Tro...
- Opened a ticket today and this is what I've got as an answer:
A new Graphical User Interface is being implemented in stages. In a Teams Channel, the ability to choose between a Microsoft Teams and a SharePoint link for a file/folder has been deprecated. Selecting "copy link" for a file/folder in the Channel files tab will only result in a SharePoint link. All users will have access to this capability, and users will not receive a Teams link for a file/folder. This one has been deprecated and will be replaced soon for all users. This is the most recent one, which all users will eventually get owing to the new GUI functionality. As a result, those affected have the new GUI, while those who have the old one will shortly have it altered.
Had a call afterwards and they encouraged me to provide feedback here https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/ad198462-1c1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472
I can't see a post about it, but will make one in the coming hours if nobody has beaten me to it.
I got a chat via Teams from a colleague who is having this exact issue.
"I" am on Microsoft Teams Version 1.4.00.31569 (64-bit). It was last updated on 11/30/2021.
and when I go to add things, I can go to the teams desktop app and click on files and then the file / folder and click copy link and then I get teams / sharepoint options.
They are on an older version. I asked him to click on check update. He quits Teams nightly so it should be updating his system. I asked him to do a "check update" and his version is a few weeks old I THINK. I am asking him to reply to me.
But this this what he see's.
I had him go to https://teams.microsoft.com/ and try to do the same thing. He has the same results, it wants to click on COPY instead of Teams / SharePoint option.
- Guys,
I think what's happening is that Microsoft is rolling out the common file sharing experience we have across Microsoft 365 also for sharing files in a Team, so nothing wrong in my opinion just the expected update that is finallly coming there- well, support is a bit slow, still didn't receive a proper answer for this problem - however is this is true, it will complicate the work experience, since people in our tenant like to stay in teams and not click on sharefile links that open up somewhere else...

- Does that mean no more Teams-based link?
