Have separated folders for a Team “chat” files and Team “project” files

By Tiago Araujo in Teams October 30, 2020 0 Comment

Currently, any images or documents shared in a Team chat conversation will automatically be in the “Files” folder. These files are often temporary.

The “Files” folder should have only permanent files that are relevant to the project.

Figure: Bad example – Files with different purposes are mixed in the same folder (tab). In blue we see conversation images; in red we have the project files

We believe chat images should go into a separated “Conversations” folder, so we have 2 folders (tabs):

Conversations: files from chat (mostly temporary)
Files: files manually added as a resource to the project (mostly permanent)
