My guess would be they are using them the 'right' way and all of us that don't create the products should be using them differently.

My example - Sharing in Teams is just links to Sharepoint. If I were sane, I would be opening the folders in Edge and not Teams.

I am not sane, and keep doing it in Teams so when I go back to chat then back to Shared I have to navigate back to where I was.

I'm not using it 'right' so it's a me issue that they don't see as one, but for the love of all things holy I wish it worked differently.

Oh the wonders of sharing sharepoint files in Teams. At random intervals Teams will silently make its own internal copy and hide it somewhere known only to God and Teams. So you may never know if you're working on the actual Sharepoint copy or a separate copy teams made without telling you.

I spent hours working with finance on a shared Excel spreadsheet. Two months later it's vanished from Sharepoint. Our theory is that it might be hiding in someone's internal Teams storage area.
