How can we make Microsoft Teams better for your classroom and staff collaboration?

Please allow the upload of Folders. Not just a file.

We would like to be able to move folders from other areas to the File section of Teams. To create a folder and then upload files to it is too much work, especially if we have several levels of folders within folders.

    I was able to upload an entire folder worth of files into my teams (over 18 files). I simply had to make the folder for it to be placed in.

    I teach 6 of the same subject and it would be helpful to be able to create a folder full of notes under the "File Tab" then copy it into multiple teams (like assignments). Right now I have to individual go into each team and copy it over. It would be nice to be able to click all the teams I want to move it into. There isn't access to copy a whole folder either, just individual files.

    It would be nice if we can do the following:

    1. Upload more than 10 files at a time
    2. Upload folders
    3. Move/copy folders between teams

    Additionally, you should be able to # a specific folder to automatically store a file from assignments or conversations

    Would like to see this happen.

    Right now there is a work around where you upload the folders to OneDrive, share the folder and get a shareable link, and add the link to your tabs. Seems to be the simplest option at the moment!

  • Jesse Snow commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Right now to upload files to a class (semester change or beginning of the year), you are limited to 10 files with the Teams APP. The work around is to login to the browser sharepoint and upload FOLDERS that way. Not as efficient as it should be.
    A possible solution would be to link your Onedrive folder directly to a team or something similar.

    You can synchronize folders from OneDrive on your local computer and upload many folders at once:
    1) Open the channel
    2) Press "Files"
    3) Press to open in SharePoint
    4) Press synchronize.
    5) Copy the folders you want to upload in the local copy.
    6) Wait for everything to be synchronized.

    For actual team (eg. hockey, or coaching) sites, including a long list of files ends up being quite disorganized. Can you please allow for the option of folders as well?
    Thank you.

    A thousand times yes - I have a large number of files to transfer to a Teams channel and I'm having to re-create the folder structure - very tedious! Need to be able to drag & drop folders!

    This would definitely benefit me! I came to ask the same thing... after spending hours doing it the 'long way'.
