Sharepoint tab linked to a list, a library or even a specific view
At present, when adding a SharePoint tab, you can only link to a site. Since sites may be shared among several teams, team members will still have to browse the site to find material relevant for the actual channel. It would be nice if a tab could pull up a specific custom list, library or even a specific view of a library. That would keep stuff on the site in context for that particular channel.

Pinning the entire document library is supported today. Learn more here, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-a-sharepoint-page-or-list-to-a-channel-in-teams-131edef1-455f-4c67-a8ce-efa2ebf25f0b.
We currently do not support pinning a specific folder, but we are considering this feature.

Being able to pin a folder would be AMAZING. I have my library pinned and you can navigate to a specific file and make the file a Tab but would love basically a shortcut to a specific folder for easy access. Example we have a budget folder with multiple files in it in our main SharePoint Docs Library. We also have a budgeting and operations channel in Teams. Would love to pin that folder to the channel in teams for quick access.

You actually can create a tab that links to a SharePoint Document Library, which is great. The only thing that drives me crazy about that Teams does not honor the sorting options of SharePoint. So in SP everything is sorted by Name, while Teams keeps sorting by Modified.

This wouldnt be needed if you just add the ability to add document libraries in 'Files' in teams. Common sense Microsoft please! I want to go to my files, thats personal files AND my shared business files..
When you are in a channel you have files and then a tab for a document library if you make one. Makes no sense..
I have a department that has multiple teams within it, they dont want to collaborate inside within one team as they cant have their own workspace with their own channels without other teams accessing them (30 private channels is not enough). They just need a quick and easy way to access their departments shared files. Stick it in the Files area!

I tried adding the web address of a specific view as a Website tab - which worked as an interim fix.
A proper integration is long overdue though! -

We would want to have a direct link of the folder from SharePoint to be shown in Microsoft Teams.
So that when we open it, we don't need to find that folder and locate the sub-folder. So it's useless to select that option and give the direct link of that folder in where the program fixed it to SharePoint Document location only... Please, please have that option for us to link the direct location of the folder...Thank you and looking forward for the action of MS Teams team!

This request seems misleading. I can already add tabs that link directly to certain Sharepoint content like a list, a folder etc. by just using the tab type website and putting in the URL for the Sharepoint object.
What does not work though is within the files tab to add cloud storage linking to a certain folder of a Sharepoint library.

This is really needed it!
We use a Program Sharepoint site with unique library but folder per project, each project could have a different teams group because are different people involved but I am not able to include a tab with the relevant folder using the current options in teams. I do not want to use the Teams Group sharepoint library, I want to use the one defined on the Program site library (e.g. sharepoint folder of other group)
One workaround that I am using is opening as a URL, but has one limitation: if you change to another tab and back to this URL tab is opening again the initial URL no the last point you left.

Yes, this sounds similar to what my organization needs. We want to be able to have one folder of a document library appear in the files tab of two different teams.

I've added a Tab in Teams that connects to a SP List. List in SP translates just fine (from French to English). Yet in teams there's no translation so it's French. We need the ability to translate.

I also would like ability to add a Tab in Team that connects to Legacy SharePoint List.
Useful for a small Team to have access to a specific List on SP. Already have broken permissions on the legacy SP and granted Read permission to the O365 group of the Team. Just cannot get a List connector. Has Library and Documents but not granular to List only. -

Exactly. Total pain. Sharepoint, Teams, etc. is all a mess. Like Google designed it.

Current SharePoint Document Library Tab only supports adding the root folder of the SharePoint library. Most teams/users need a way to get to specific folders on other SharePoint Sites/Libraries and having a Tab from within Teams will be great way to enable this capability.

this is necessary based on the drive to push for use of metadata - Teams is the fastest growing collaborative system, this needs to be implemented.

I need this ASAP. I've worked hard to get my users to add metadata to libraries. Now we're ready to introduce Teams., This sets me back so far!
