We have a SharePoint team site and inside MS Teams we can view the General folder as follow:-

enter image description here

Now inside the sharepoint site I added a new folder named test beside the General folder, as follow:-

enter image description here

but this new folder did not appear inside Ms Team.. so is there a way to automatically show any folder added to the root of the document library inside MS Teams? If not then can i do it manually? Thanks

  • You can add document library as a separate tab on Teams. that way you can see all folders inside document library.

  • To add document library as a tab in Teams, check this: Add a SharePoint page, list, or document library as a tab in Teams. let me know if it works for you.

  • There is no tabs on the Team itself only on the channel, of which you only have General currently. @GaneshSanap is correct, you can either add the library as a separate tab on a channel or alternatively you can just create another channel which will have it's own folder (shown as files on that channel).

There is no way to automatically show any folder added to Shared Documents libray inside MS Teams.

As a workaround, we could add a new Channel in Microsoft Teams, than the mapped folder will show in SharePoint Shared Documents libray.

  • but since in my case i already have the folders created,, so if i add a channel with the same name as the folder then the channel will get mapped to the folder... is this correct?

  • No, this will occur error, we suggest you add channel with different name or delete existing folder in document library, then add channel with previous name.
