Short Verison
The ‘Files’ tab in Microsoft Teams channels will be renamed ‘Shared’ and will show shared post content and document library files under two tabs. Due mid-May to mid-June 2025.
Details
The new Shared tab is intended to enable you to view content shared in posts and content in the channel’s document library folder in one place.
Under the Shared tab, there will be two views. In library allows you to work with files and folders in the SharePoint document library linked to the channel, using the same functionality you had with the old Files tab:
The In posts tab will display all files and links shared in channel posts.
You may be familiar with some of the above functionality from the Shared tab in chats, which is not affected by anything in this update.
This update applies to Teams for Windows desktop and Teams for Mac desktop.
Availability
Due mid-May to mid-June 2025.
