This time, I'm going to show you how to find your files using the files app in Teams.
The files app is a collection of files from Teams and OneDrive
and other cloud storage.
OneDrive is all your personal files
and Teams shows you all the shared files.
To start with, the files app shows them all as one recent list.
It shows you the title of the file,
when it was modified, and the location.
Now, I can sort this list by all the column names
and if we scan the locations list here, you can see there's a mixture of locations.
This one here for example, is in the Marketing team and the General channel,
and this one is from the Coaching team in the Project X channel,
and this one is from my OneDrive.
You can open files from here as well and here's a quick tip on how to do it.
When I find the file in this list that I want to open,
for example, this one from my OneDrive,
I can click on it and open it up in Teams.
Now if I go back to the file list again,
i can also change the file opening behaviour of Teams.
If you'd prefer to open up the file in the desktop version of the app
go to the ellipsis here, and it will show the options available:
Teams, desktop or browser,
and teams is the default
Now if I choose 'change default',
I can choose 'desktop',
and then 'save',
and now when I open the file it will start that desktop app for me
and that will be the default behaviour wherever I open a file in Teams.
I can also filter my files based on the file source.
In the views list i can see that I'm filtering by 'recent',
and I can switch that view to just Teams.
Now this is showing me all my Teams files
and who modified them and their location.
So it's a slightly different format to the recent list.
Here I can also view my downloads folder
which is on my windows computer.
Any downloads I make from Teams will be added to this folder.
Now when I switch to OneDrive, I get more features.
I can open files and folders as before
and I can create new ones
and upload existing ones.
I can sync to my computer
and I can change between 'list' and 'tile' view.
And I can open the OneDrive app in my browser.
In the cloud storage section you can see I have OneDrive,
and if your Admin allows,
you can also add cloud storage sources like Google Drive and Dropbox.
I've added my Google Drive account here.
There I have direct access to my files and I can open them and manage them.
If I rename or delete a file here in Teams,
that change will be made in Google as well.
I can move or copy a Google file inside of Google Drive
or I could move it into OneDrive or any of the teams that I'm a member of.
Google files do not show up in the 'recent' list however,
and they don't appear in search results in Teams either.
