Private HIDDEN Folder for Teachers Only
In files, there's a "Class Materials" folder that is a read-only folder. This folder is visible to all members of a channel.
I want to request another shared folder that is private under "Class Materials" with the ability to view, read, and edit by teachers only. This folder should be HIDDEN from all students and only visible to teachers.

Files downloads flexibility
Maybe allow drag and drop downloads. For example, drag the file from Teams into our personal folders on our desktop and have it downloaded directly. Instead of clicking download and having to always fetch our files from "Downloads" folder. This feature was available from Microsoft Outlook. It will help me a lot in terms of my productivity if I have multiple files or multiple folders to download files from. Thank you!!!! I really like TEAMS so far. Its very versatile and easy to use

After clicking on the downloaded file icon, the file location should highlight the downloaded file.
Currently clicking on 'file downloaded' only opens the destination folder, it doesn't highlight the actual file which has just been downloaded, which means we need to then do a search within the folder to find the downloaded file. Clicking on 'file downloaded' notification should take us directly to the destionation folder and the downloaded file should be highlighted for us to easily locate.

Allow Sharing of Links in the Files Tab
I want to be able to save website links in the files tab, just like I can save links in a file in One Drive. For instance, in my Pre-Employment Skills channel of my Life Skills class I created a folder in the Files tab called Typing. I want to be able to share website links to an online typing class and typing games. I realize I could create a Word Doc with a list of links, but that is just one more step. My students are Intellectually Disabled, and I want to make it as simple as possible for…

Blocking student access to live use of PowerPoints
When a teacher is trying use a PowerPoint in the meeting students should not be able to play around with it at the same time. Students should only be able to download the file to be worked through.
I had students continuously messing around with the PowerPoint while I was trying to teach. It becomes counter-productive.

Document links in chat attempt to open in browser, should open in Teams.
Links to documents in Teams chat attempt to open in browser, should open in Teams instead, as navigating manually to the file in Teams (and bypassing the link) works
