Upload a file to Teams directly from a desktop Office application
When I am creating a new file in an Office document I want there to be an option in the "Save as" location, to save to an Microsoft Team, similar to how there are options to save to your OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, and This PC locations. Right now I either have to remember to create the file from Teams or to create the file on my PC and then upload it manually to Teams.

This request has been accepted by the feature team and is now on the backlog. I’ll keep you posted as it moves through the development process.

Trying to roll out to more than 1500 users and everyone is asking this same question.

I cannot believe "this is on the backlog". This should be basic functionality with the office products. uuugh.

The current Save As dialog forces the user through a very confusing Sharepoint structure which does not match the Teams experience. This is compounded by the underlying SP storage not respecting updates to folder name changes in Teams...not good. Simply build a Teams-friendly dialog that displays the Teams and channels to which I have access and use labels like Teams and Channels and Files...not Sites and Documents.

What would be cool is if you could optionally configure this SAVE AS option right in the ribbon. If the save dialog box included a checkbox to make a post to the channel too, then allow for post details to be typed in before hitting save.

Seems like a pretty fundamental feature that's missing.
What the first thing you want to do with a new DOC, XLS etc? Save it.
Where do you want to save it? Teams.Come on Microsoft - try and get it right in the first place

You can already do this!!! From the Office apps you can add the SharePoint library that is the back end for Teams. Once the SharePoint library is added, you can save Office files directly to a Teams-channel. (Picture attached)

This one is really a big need for the user adoption of Teams. As we're currently moving our files to Teams, the user adoption of Teams is held back, because users can't easily find the right place to store there newly created files.

Please let me know if it is possible using MS Office 365 and MS Teams to save a pdf attached to an e-mail directly into teams? Currently I have to first save it on my PC then upload it to Teams but if I'm wasting my time please let me know?
Thank you -

How do I add a MS Teams folder to the 'Frequent' section in Sites? The one showing is one that I rarely use and I don't know how to replace it with the one I do you, or add the one I use.

Has there been any progress with this feature? Also, has there been any further progress with being able to drop and drag an email attachment in Outlook directly into Microsoft Teams?

Your Teams sites show up under Sites with the SharePoint logo. This functionality already exists, there is just no indication that it is "Microsoft Teams" since files in Teams are really just a SharePoint site.

Ridiculous!! Surely this is what file sharing is all about. Easy transfer of files between Office apps to save time. I have spent ages trying to figure it out with no luck and no real explanations why or solutions. Please fix it

We are still stuck with the most recent SharePoint sites list to get access to save to a Team. But I'd rather not get in to that when selling the pros of Teams. A quick link to scroll My Teams/channels is required! Preferably yesterday...

Any updates on this? We're trying to get our users to adopt Teams, but this is holding it up.

You can save to Teams from Word if you Copy the SharePoint link from Teams under the Tab you plan to use and then open up Word and go to Save As. You will need to select your Site and paste the link into the Address Bar.
