Upload files into directly into folders in Teams on iOS app

A requested feature in Teams on iOS device is the ability to upload files directly to folders in Teams. At this time, you may upload files in the conversation tab, but it will be uploaded directly in the root of the team. In what I request, you should be able to access the Teams file archive, go to the folder where you want to upload the file and then upload.

The picture shows where I'd love to have an "attach a file"-button.

    I just tried this and while it was cumbersome it worked and my photo file type was preserved a jpg format.

    Pictures are converted to PDF? Really? And that is considered a solution to being able to upload photos to a Team site. We want to transition from Dropbox to OneDrive and Teams, obviously Microsoft is completely clueless if it thinks this is now a workable solution for saving files from an iPad to Office.

    I too, just convinced a company that we could consolidate from Dropbox. Looks like I will have to tell the client I am an idiot.

    If I'm not mistaken, this can be done easily using the OneDrive iOS apps. In OneDrive for iOS, you go to libraries, where you will see all Team sites (all SharePoint sites). Select the site, go into Documents and then in the channel folder. Then take your pictures using the camera icon at the bottom or the + on the top menu. You pictures will be stored in the channel folder. I undertand it is not directly available in the Teams App but it is very quick and easy from OneDrive app. Note: Pictures will be converted to PDF.

    The attach file option (standard paper clip icon) is in the chat window, files uploaded using this method land in your teams files repository

    Please add this feature as iOS App is great for users on the go a lot, being able to upload files on the iPad is quite critical to their day to day work

    Any ETA on when this obvious, easy, simple, self-explanatory fix will be available? I think of a couple of other adjectives, but I'd rather just go get modern software that does Basic(s)!

    I just wrote in my proposal for mobility at a client .... "The warehouse will be able to upload the consignment image files to Teams on their mobile device".... then I tried to do this for a screenshot, and WOW!!

    I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE.

    Deleted that capability from the proposal now. Sadly.

    Pretty shocking that file upload into Teams folder is not supported. How is that even possible to omit such a basic and highly used feature?

  • [Deleted User] commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    How is this not already a standard feature!! MS are you listening to all the comments and requests - this runs the risk of invalidating the user case for teams in its entirety. Please can this be prioritised. Apparently there is a work around to do it via web browser but I’ve tried Safari, and Chrome and both case told my browser is not supported?

    Yes please!

    It is tideous to share several pictures by going on the attache=> select way if you can only select one at a time (we have cases with 10-20 pictures at once...)

    and when you select several pictures from your galery and send them via Teams, they are not stored in the channels folder...

    That is incredibly annoying and preventing a lot of grate use cases and making mobile work, for which the app is perfectly fine otherwise, very time-consuming.

    My company has just started trialing this app for android and windows. I use my own iPad for work and i cannot upload any files to the team i am a member off. We used OneDrive before and it was simple. Unfortunately files disappeared from account to account. There’s no files app integration at all.
