Hey Everyone! For the past couple of weeks, I have been using the 'Get Link' feature in MS Teams to directly share the link to my peers so that they can directly access the link from Teams without...

    Alright so I checked MS Teams today
    And it has been resolved
    I am able to see the Teams link too

    It has been solved
    Probably you may need to check with your IT Administrators.

All my links in Teams are SharePoint links

    I lost my access to use TEAMS links this week, my teams is now on Version: 14.4.00.31569 (64-bit) 

     

    any way we can turn that back on?

      Same issue here. It is not possible to share links anymore with guest users, as they cannot access Sharepoint links, but only Teams links. This is impacting our business.

        When I click on Copy Link, the link contains the organizations root SharePoint site (i.e. contoso0.sharepoint.com) and a path to the file in Teams. As it should since the foundation for all Teams is SharePoint.

         

        For your Guests to access the file via the link, they need to be added to the Team, or the SharePoint site because only team members can see files that were shared in Teams.

         

        If you are sharing files located in Teams, the Guest has to be a member of the Team and also have access to the Channel where the file(s) is/are stored.

         

        If you are sharing a file with a Guest from a SharePoint site, you need to make that Guest an external member.

         

        If you are unable to add a Guest User in Teams or in SharePoint, please check with your Administrator and ask what permissions Guest have in your Tenet.

    Yep....I get this option in a Teams group also....so the link options range from a Microsoft Teams to a OneDrive to a SharePoint, depending on the file.

     

    Files I share from my computer (which are backed up to my business OneDrive) will show a OneDrive only link option.

    Files that originated as a screenshot and have been shared with me will show a SharePoint only link.

    Files that are uploaded to Teams show a Microsoft Teams link as well as a SharePoint link.

     

    Thank you for bringing this up and I am very glad that it has been resolved.

      I mean, all the files in my thing are in general originating from SharePoint (like when I go to the cloud site, it'll appear as <organisation>.sharepoint.com
      So that was some weird issue in between.
      But yeah, luckily it has been resolved.
