Error - To update this folder, go to the channel in Microsoft Teams
I have a MS Team where I manage (1) Permissions and (2) the primary Folder structure of my SharePoint site. Example MS Team Channels: Labor Billing Commercial Customer Service Etc. These Channels obviously create the root Folders in the main Document Library on the SharePoint site. Within the SharePoint Document Library, I had added a new Folder and File "attribute" which I include in the Default View for users when viewing this Document Library... The custom "attribute" is "Title". I did this because often times a file's name may be long and not fully reflective of content, and by customizing my "Title", I can make it more clear to the users. This "Title" attribute also applies to Folders. And to cleanly navigate the Document Library, I also need to edit the "Title" for my Folders. Something has recently changed, and when I try to edit the "Title" attribute of a main Folder (one created by adding a Channel to the Team) I get an error - "To update this folder, go to the channel in Microsoft Teams". (see screenshot below) The problem is that I am not able to edit the "Title" attribute anywhere in Teams either. Any clue how to get around this new limitation? In the screenshot above, I am not trying to change the "Name" field at all, only the "Title" field, so I really believe this error is a bug at the end of the day. Truly appreciate any help and guidance! Brian
Document Library tab: Cannot upload or drag&drop files (Bug)
Hi, I have been running in circles with support and I am not getting anywhere, i need to raise my concern about a bug in MS Teams which causes your uploaded sharepoint files to be corrupt, and lose all contents. I have reproduced this in 3 different tenants now, for multiple users and multiple computers, it absolutely is a bug. The bug exists int he "document library" tab within a team and the repro steps are simple: create a new or use an existing team. add the "document library" app for any sharepoint library in the teams client (web or desktop) drag&drop a file into this library. teams gives an error: failed to upload file, "Please check if the site is available....." the site is available, of course, you can still upload files into sharepoint directly. the file which failed to upload be seen in sharepoint but IS CORRUPT AND CANNOT BE OPENED I raised this with support but as usual it is not going anywhere. they want to have a 3 hour call collecting HAR files and fiddler logs etc, and want to spend the next few weeks asking me about my laptop- no thanks. Also raised it in uservoice but I doubt it will get any attention: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/908686-bug-reports/suggestions/41580901-document-library-tab-cannot-upload-or-drag-drop-f If we as users find a bug (A bad 1... which affects all tenants and causes our files to become corrupt..... for example) HOW can we escalate these effectively? this is hopelessTeams - Moving from File Server - Document Libraries etc
Hi Guys, Ok so here's my situation and I'm looking for your suggestions. My company is moving away from its local file server to 365.We're heavily using Microsoft Teams due to COVID-19 but we haven't moved files yet. The current file server model is the following: User Drive Departmental Shared Drive User Drive is fine as we will just copy all the users data into their own OneDrive Accounts. The Departmental Shared Drives are the issue. We have a number departments that have built smaller teams and want to work inside those teams but want access to the Department Shared Drive/Files. Whilst the teams don't necessarily work together all the time they all access each others files. In Teams is there an easy way of each team accessing the 'Department Shared Folder'. At the moment all I can think of is creating a channel in each team called 'Shared Files' then in the files tab I add the Department Shared Files cloud storage pointing to the Departments Document Library. I know you can create a Document Library tab inside a channel but that with also 'Files' tab can be confusing for the user. I am wondering if theres anything which may be easier? My ideal solution is that on the side bar in teams you can add Sharepoint Document Libraries as cloud storage but this is not possible currently in teams. On their local PCs we'll just sync the departmental shared folder with onedrive so it appears in their explorer and they can do the same with their smaller teams files but when working in Teams i want them to be able to pick up their departments shared files just as easily. Splitting up the data is not an option as the users need access to the whole departments files and sharing would be a huge pain. Your thoughts please.
Guest User added team should not be allowed to search internal contact and start chatting with them?
first I recently added some guest users to active directory and added them to our team as member. it was nightmare as they can search any our domain user in contacts and start chatting with them. secondly, we tried to share sharepoint library folder to external user, and they become team members. it become nightmare for me to share dozen of large files with our external clients. how i should overcome this issue?
