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.

shared this idea
This item is still in the works.
Also, thank you for the additional feedback. I will circle back to the feature team and provide a new update soon.

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!

Currently we can only add lists that are inside a team, which doesn't really work for us. We have lists we work on that are present on other sites (e.g. time tracking).
Adding them as a website works but it's really clunky, it would be great if it was added as a SharePoint list. -

SharePoint doc library is setup in a tree structure to coincide with individual client cases. The lawyer teams setup in MSTeams who must work with their specific client case must be able to access the sub-folder and the many sub-sub-folders associated with their case and no other case due to privacy issues.
Microsoft Teams must have the ability to link to a specific folder within SharePoint Document Libraries.

Dans un canal, l'onglet "fichier" présent par défaut vers une bibliothèque SP devrait permettre d'afficher les éventuelles vues créée pour la bibliothèque. il faudrait aussi pouvoir sélectionner une vue par défaut. Idem si l'on ajoute un onglet vers un Bib SP qui comporte des vues (sélection d'une vue par défaut et possibilité de changer de vue)

Hello, this is so true and it's very annoying. A lot of time is wasted having to navigate back to the used file.

Hi, is there any update on this feature? I see that the Teams UI has the ability to add SharePoint lists but it only displays lists on the actual team site and doesn't allow entry of a URL to an external SharePoint list.
Have I got this right? - it would seem this misses the point -

This needs to allow cross-tenant linking of Sharepoint document libraries - when we have guests from an external tenant, we need to be able to link the library on a tab in (possibly) an internal team
Currently adding a Sharepoint document library assumes it's in the current tenant instead of allowing a URL of any other valid Sharepoint document library

Lists are glaringly missing, these are very useful to track various things , for now I 've had to add and excel tab - ugly and a backwards step. e.g. list of pilot users data, list of issues

I've added a few tabs linking to different SharePoint pages, they all belong in the same Teams SharePoint Online site. On Teams Desktop, none of the pages will load unless I load a tab linking to Home first. And I don't need to load Home of the existing group, even if I load Home from a different group, then the other pages will then load, but if I don't do this, I get nothing, no even an error. This is weird ...

Lists are my favorite part of SharePoint! I want my list to be viewable in Teams (but not editable). My Team site is for our IT procurement. We manage our invoices, contracts, and budget information there. I want my Vendor Information list to be a Tab so that we have ready access to our contact people, contract #s and billing details. It would be one stop shopping for all of our IT procurement needs.
