    Come on, implementing this can't be that difficult and take that many resources to do. It's a huge pain and a feature basically every program has. How is it possible that this hasn't been done over 3 years later?

    3+ yr backlog for a basic feature such as choosing the download destination? Please re-visit and re-prioritize.

  • Jason commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is one more extraordinarily frustrating aspect of using Teams and one of the reasons I despise being forced into using it. If it didn't come along with my company's subscription we wouldn't even use Teams. We're using it by default to save money, not because it's the best tool. I found a link to this page from a 3 year old post. Stop kicking the can and shoving things into the backlog and fix the dang issue already.

    Please bump this up in the backlog priority, this is impacting our teams work flow, especially given that fact that we are using Teams in conjunction with the other products in the Microsoft suite.

    Is me commenting even necessary ? what is the real issue ? we have commented, voted . . . please understand the frustration working virtually during the pandemic has made this a priority believe me.

    Dear Teams, is it a Hard thing to Change ? what are your challenges so far ?
    This is a feature that should be standard with all Microsoft apps - I do not see you guys struggling to make this happen? how many Votes do you still need to make this happen I really don't understand ?

    I would like to chose the folder I want to download my files in Teams, not only chose default folder but also have the possibility to be asked which folder I wan to save it when downloading.

    Microsoft SLT is promoting OneDrive as the source for content due to security, resiliency and collaboration, seems Teams should adopting to a way to modify the default path for "Teams Downloads"

  • Eva Lim commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This should be a very basic feature that has been incorporated since Day 1. Why is it even moved to the backlog after 3 years of not doing it? Even after downloading the file, there is no permanent message that states where the file is, the balloon that pops up disappears after a few seconds.

    Please add my vote and that of my 100 person plus team who daily loses productivity time due to this rather silly 'Feature'

  • John commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This needs to be added, I am now forced to be on multiple teams, and all files get downloaded to the same folder, I need to be able to choose where these go. It is a huge waste of time to have to sort through my download folder to move files around when I should be able to put them where I want them right when I download. I can't believe this most basic of features hasn't been implemented in three years. Missing features like this that should be among the simplest core features make me loath using your applications, the hubris that Microsoft always thinks it knows what its users need over the user's actual needs.

    Seems like a basic feature that should have been included from day 1. Hard to remember last app that allowed downloading, but not the ability to choose the target folder for each downloaded file. Stunning for a Microsoft product installed on a MS OS. Please fast track. Thank you.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    @ MS it would be great if you add this feature to choose download folder locally on the PC

  • Vrajesh commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I am stunned to see that this feature is in your backlog for the past 3 years. 3 Years. Please put this on the fast track, as this is a very basic feature lacking in an enterprise-level application.
