View Teams files on the desktop

You can view all files of any team that you have access to on your computer (File explorer/Finder). Below are instructions on how to make these documents visible in Windows. You must have OneDrive installed on your system to follow these instructions.

1. Select a channel within a team and go to the "Files" tab
2. Now select which files you want to Sync. By default, the channel you are currently in is selected. Select "Documents>" if you want to sync all of the channel files for the entire group.
3. Select "Sync" to add a folder to your file explorer. If you press "Add shortcut to OneDrive" then it will add a shortcut to your OneDrive instead of creating a separate folder in file explorer:
4. You will find the group files in the "File explorer" on the left menu (Menntaský). On MacOS the folder will appear in your OneDrive folder within "Finder":

By default you will see all the files but they are not stored on your computer unless you request them. You do this by right-clicking the appropriate group (or folders and documents into that group) and select "Always keep on this device".

2. Click on the gear and open "Settings":
3. Select "Stop Sync" and the files will no longer be synced to your computer:
