Microsoftis preparing to update one of the most annoying things about its Teamscollaboration platform, the company has revealed.
Apostto the Microsoft 365 roadmap explains that Teams will soon allow users to choose which local folder that files will download to.
“Teams will now enable users to select the default download location where they would like to have their files downloaded,” the company says. “This is applicable only on the desktop client. Teams on the web will continue to honor the setting in thebrowser.”
The roadmap update was added on May 23 before being updated on May 26, so Microsoft is currently working on making this change into a reality. The company seems to optimistically think the update will shift this very month.
While it might not sound like the most world-changing update ever, it will make a difference for anyone that regularly gets sent files on Teams, which is a fair few of us. Being able to choose a specific folder makes a big difference, especially for more ephemeral files.
