    @Warren or whoever may care (if any), it's now 406 days from your last post and around 2 1/2 years from opening this "topic" - and this is not even a special feature but a simple basic function, already available at tons of other microsoft products.
    Hey, what is Microsoft doing all the days?

    Is TEAMS really under development or just starving?

    It's astonishing that this extremely basic feature wasn't already implemented. This happened on web browsers 20 years ago.

    Come on Microsoft. We have data governance that dictates not files should be saved locally. We need the ability to point this to Onedrive by default.

    Come on Warren, this is basic, lets make it happen. Such a bad user experience to have to go and find the download and then move it to the appropriate folder especially when you're downloading a bunch of files.

    Can we please have the ability to change where a file downloads in Microsoft Teams? Even Microsoft Edge and IE allow that. Seems as though it should be a basic choice in teh desktop editions.

    You've been working on this for over a year? This is embarrassing for you. If this terrible product weren't included in MS Office, absolutely no one would pay for it.

    Dear Microsoft, this feature should have been available the second version 1.0 came out.

    Wow, adding a feature that lets us choose where the file goes? Way to catch up to, literally, every single program, on the planet, that has a feature of downloading a file and letting you choose where it goes.

    With break through innovations like this, its no wonder Teams isn't thriving.

    "working on it" dated over a year ago? Dayum, why give me a OneDrive if you won't let me use it?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I absolutely need this, can't understand why this isn't possible yet. Please update urgently!

  • Angela commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Absolutely NEED this function -- 1. Allow me to set the folder (or specify each time) and 2. Open the location after download is finished.
