Your new SharePoint tab will appear on the Tabs bar. I suggest including SharePoint in the title, so your colleagues know what they can find in the tab. You can only connect to one document library per tab, but you can always add more tabs as needed. Then, choose which document library you’d like to connect to. Select the site you want and choose Next. Or, you can paste in the link to your company’s SharePoint directly. If you are logged into your Office 365 Account, Teams will find the SharePoint sites associated with your organization’s SharePoint Site. Wait while Teams searches for relevant sites. If you select the SharePoint tile, you will only be able to connect to pages from that specific team’s SharePoint. Then, from the Add a Tab flyout window, select the Document Library tile.

To add your preexisting SharePoint library, click the Plus button on the left of the Tabs bar to add a new tab. To view files in an existing SharePoint Document Library, you can connect the library to your Team in a tab. When you’re in a Team and click the option for Files at the top, you’re shown the SharePoint site created for that specific team. I’ll include some information about doing that at the end. Note that what I’m going to show you here is just for connecting a document library to Teams, not your SharePoint site as a whole. With Teams, you can easily integrate SharePoint sites for easy access-and I would argue that navigating SharePoint in Microsoft Teams is much more enjoyable than using your browser anyway. Microsoft Teams creates a unique SharePoint site for each Team you create, but what do you do about the SharePoint site your organization already has and uses? If your organization is anything like ours, you’ve probably been utilizing a SharePoint document library long before you adopted Microsoft Teams. That’s how you add a document library for easy access to your files in Microsoft Teams.Ĭonnecting SharePoint Libraries to Microsoft Teams I want a link to this folder, so I’m not going to select anything and choose the Get Link option from the toolbar here.įrom here, I can get a Teams Link, which is a link to the file where it lives in this Marketing SharePoint tab of my Sales and Marketing Team, or I can share the link to it directly on SharePoint. If I want to share the link to a file, like I would in SharePoint, I can select a document to share a link directly to that document or select nothing to share a link to that folder. If at any time I feel like I need to be working directly in SharePoint, I can click Open in SharePoint to bring up this page in SharePoint from a browser window. For more information about editing and working with files in Teams, see my video, “How to Edit Files Directly in Teams.” Or I can open in the respective Online or Desktop App. I can right click or use the ellipses icon to edit files directly in Teams. Any changes you make here will be reflected directly in SharePoint. I can add new files and folders here with the New button or use the Upload button to add new files from my computer. I can click on any folder I want and use the breadcrumbs to return to different levels of my SharePoint hierarchy. If I click on it, I see all the files I would see if I navigated to this document library in a browser window. You can see that my new tab has popped up here. Here we can put in a name for the Tab in Teams, and we’ll click Save to add our SharePoint Document library. You can only link to one document library per Tab on your Team page. From here, you can choose which document library you’d like to use, the site I’ve picked only has one, but yours might have more. I’m going to choose Marketing because this is the Sales and Marketing Team. Wait for Teams to find sites from your organization or copy the link to your site directly from your browser. Instead, we want to link to a SharePoint document library from our organization’s shared SharePoint site. We don’t want to use the SharePoint tile here because that will only allow us to link to SharePoint pages from the associated Team site.

Click the Plus button from the Tabs Bar and choose Document Library. First, navigate to the Team you’d like the SharePoint library to be accessible from. You can add a SharePoint Document Library to Microsoft Teams for easy access to all your files right from the Teams interface.
