Microsoft Teams file share sync to Computer (PC)
Microsoft Teams file shares sync with your OneDrive to Computer (PC)
These are the steps on how to properly sync your new Microsoft Teams file storage with your OneDrive client on your computer.
Step 1. Be sure to complete the personal OneDrive install and sync before completing these steps. The instructions can be found on this link.
Step 2. Open your MS Teams application on your computer. It should be part of your applications installed on your machine. If it is not, you may submit a ticket to the service desk by emailing support@webster.edu.
Step 3. After MS Teams opens, on the left-hand side please find the Team you are wanting to sync files from. There may be multiple teams you are part of so please choose the right one.
Step 4. Once the Team is selected it should look like the image below. You will always see the team name below the logo and the general channel. You may or may not see further sub channels depending on your access to them. These sub channels are created on how each department categorizes files. Some may be private (indicated by the lock icon) and others may be open to all. General channel will always be open and visible to all team members. See image below.
Step 5. Select the channel on the left side you wish to sync and then proceed to click on the Files tab in the upper menu bar. The image below is an illustration of an empty file channel.
Step 6. Select “Sync” shown in the image below. A box will open indicating “Your files are being synced”.
Step 8. After the sync is in progress, Microsoft OneDrive will have notified you are now syncing the folder. Open your windows explorer and you should now see the “Webster University” tab with a drop down of the channel you synced.
You are now synced with your channel. You may follow the same steps and sync additional channels you have access to.
