Class Materials folder Disappear on mobile devices(Temporary Solution)

Copy the class materials file to new folder

As we start our E-learning course from this week on, we found one more problems with Teams which may affect for the teacher. Lots of teacher will using the class materials folder to save all the assignment or noted and let the kids to download or ready it. However, the class materials will disappear when user login with iPad or any mobile devices. Not matter teacher or student, the folder won’t be showed. Microsoft can’t solve this issue today so let’s have a plan B to move all the files out from class materials folder. 在开启在线视频教育的这段时间,我们又发现了Teams上的一个小问题会比较影响到老师的。 课堂教件文件夹是一个老师经常使用的文件夹,一般会用来存放例如发布的模板作业或者笔记,为了学生只有可读权限,让他们只可以看或者下载来用的文件夹。然而不幸的是我们发现了课堂教件的文件夹在苹果笔记本或者windows电脑上访问是没有问题,但如果你切换到iPad或者安卓等移动终端,这个文件夹就不见了。这个问题其实我和微软确认过,而且暂时他们没有那么快解决这个问题。
