Issue/Question:
- I would like to provide someone the URL to a Teams folder, how do I find that?
- I need to find out what the URL is for Teams folder.
Environment:
Microsoft Teams is part of the larger Microsoft SharePoint infrastructure. All folders in Teams have a URL that can be used to access that folder from a web browser, provided the person with the URL has permissions to the folder and its contents.
Resolution:
To find the URL for a Teams folder, follow the steps below. In this example, we’ll use a Team called “My Team” and locate folders in the “General” channel.
- In Microsoft Teams, navigate to your team, select the channel, then click the Files tab to open the list of folders and files available. For example, navigate to the “My Team” team, select “General” from the list of channels, and then click on the Files tab.
- Locate the folder you need the URL to from the list, or create a new folder.
- To the right of the folder name, click the ellipses (...) to bring up your options.
- Select Copy Link.
- If you’re satisfied with the permissions listed, click Copy. The URL will be copied to your clipboard. The default permissions are “People with existing access can use the link,” but you can change that if you need to share the link with a broader audience.
- You can then email that link, use it in a web browser, or use it to request access for a scan folder in PaperCut.
Hint: You don't have to only use top-level folders, you can navigate into folders and select sub-folders as well.
