Hi Jim

I am using New Teams. When I go to the General channel > Files, and click on the ellipse to the right of the file I want to work with, the menu that opens has an Open option. When you click on that option, a sub-menu opens. One of the options is to 'Open in app' That option should open the desktop version. (see attached png)

No it doesn't.
I am trying to share a Files area folder link in a team post and all I get is a Sharepoint link.
Samething when I want a link to a document.
Although we only allow opening Office docs in desktop application because web/teams versions destroy document formatting.
Teams still suck.

  Hi Jim,
  Sorry, thought your last post was referring to opening a doc within Teams. You are right. The sharing issue with Guests has not been resolved.

    And I don't share with Guests. Our Teams are for colleagues/membersin my org only.
