    MICROSOFT LISTEN TO YOUR USERS ALREADY IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY USE YOUR PRODUCTS AND YOU WANT TO MAKE MORE MONEY!!!

    Yes, please!

    Additionally: If there was a possibility to define a default tab which is showen when opening a team would be a great step further.
    Or if any tab can be moved to the very left and is then the first showen, would be great es well

    Ja Bitte, denn manche Registerkarten werden selten benötigt und stehen immer ganz links, andere, die wichtiger wären verschwinden immer unter der Registerkarte "weitere" ...das sollte man ändern können!!!

    We've tried to use Teams for everything including file storage, but because of this issue the business has pushed back and we are now going back to using OneDrive and SharePoint. Trying to tell users to find their files - open the Team, click on general, click on files - it's just too onerous and users can't find the files or forget where they are. Removing the default Posts tab is a must, if a channel is dedicated to file storage it just isn't needed. Please let us remove it or at least hide it, it's literally a deal breaker for Teams adoption for us.

    Agree with all below - need way to make Files default in Channels over Posts

    We predominantly use files and it’s annoying to have to click on the file tab all the time and also confusing for people new to Teams. It would be terrific you could set the default view to whichever tab meets your way of working.

    Would love to be able to open rearrange and have Files open first instead of Posts. Wedo not use the post feature. This adds a redundant click for us and is deterring user adoption of this system. They want to go back to dropbox.

    please create this, teams is useless for education because of this. a first time user is greeted with pure overload of information files and folders and conversations, other than a sharepoint sit repage instructing them what to do

    Please provide the ability to have another tab other than Posts and Files as the first channel tab. Having these as immovable default tabs severely limits Teams into just being mainly used as a file-sharing site or an IM site. If one is planning to use a Teams site as an information portal for a big number of people within an organization, having these 2 tabs fixed defeats a more logical presentation of information for many people who may be visiting the site for the first time. Instead of showing them a tab (maybe a website homepage) that provides them a "lay of the land," they will be seeing a bunch of posts and files with no context. That is too bad because Teams is actually a much better option to having a standalone website in terms of long-term accessibility to users. You don't have to rely on users to save the link to your website or pester your IT people to provide a vanity URL so people can easily type in the website name in the browser.

    Especially on smaller screens like laptops it is annoying to only see Posts, Files and only one additional tab of your created ones. In the natural of some of our channels Posts and Files never got used and the relevant tabs are then only reachable by drop-down.
    What is so difficult to just give the freedom to your customer to rearrange after starting with your default on creation? Why do you want to force users to use it like this even if it doesn't make sense for them. Please listen to you customers, allow customizing. We're not talking about rearranging the whole UI and to destroy UX/UE. These are just tabs which users are familiar with in a browser UI, it feels odd that in this case the ability is missing to sort tabs like the team likes it.

    We should the ability to control what a user sees by default.
