Hello everyone!
I have a problem between sharepoint and teams:
I create a folder in sharepoint but I can not see this folder in teams because it is not a channel.
How can I transform a folder in sharepoint in a channel in teams?
Thankss !!
This method worked for me. Thanks Jeremy.
I'll do you one better: if you create a channel under a team and make sure the channel has the exact name as the folder that already exists, it will automatically use the existing folder and its contents under the "files"-tab of the channel.
Of course, this will only work if the existing folder is located under Shared Documents of the Site Collection of the desired Team.
The best way to create a channel from a SharePoint folder is:
Now if you do not want the channel name to be the SharePoint folder name, you will need to edit the Channel and change the Channel name. If you do this after you have verified the files and subfolders desired are all listed in "Files" tab of the channel, they will still exist after a channel name edit. The channel name edit does not change the SharePoint folder name after creation.
Alternatively, you can create the Channel, refresh the Team SharePoint site to find a new folder with the name of the Channel you just created, then move/copy all the files and subfolders from the desired folder into new Channel folder.
This works, I just confirmed it. A folder was already created in SharePoint within a Site that was already set up as a Team.
I simply created the channel in Teams with the same name as the folder in SharePoint (within the same Site as the Team) and all the files appeared in Teams. Nice!
@agne_bane I have succesfully copied my folders from sharepoint to my team with same name. Can I delete the source sharepoint folder to avoid having two same folders?
This is accurate, i just tried and it worked.
Hi,
You could simply first create a channel on a selected team on Teams, this will appear on your Sharepoint under that team documents section and you can upload files or folder under that "channel/folder" name and it will be accessible on that newly created channel on your teams (under files).
Hope this helps.
If the folder is a root folder in the SharePoint document library in an Office 365 Group that also has a Team on it, you can just create a Channel in Teams with the same name and the folder will just be used for that Channel.
