Well, just a piece of cake, however, when I check with the folder, I finally realize this is a different story. Too young too simple for James lar. Let’s take a look the folder first.

Well, we all know that the standard way to upload file is using Teams to directly upload file from file Tab. But the problems is if we upload like this way, it will be very slow and we never know the state for upload process. So I need to figure out a way to copy dozen of large file on Teams and finally I found that using Onedrive to synchronized maybe the best solution. So let’s see how to do it.

  1. Click into the file tab with your Teams and find “Open in Sharepoint”.

4.  Click “Yes” on the pop up windows. Noted: If you never install the OneNote, Make sure to install the application first. I use a windows machine to make as a sample and you can also using the Mac to do it. There may be a little bit different as they have different interface.

Tips: Make sure to check the maximum storage for your Teams, If file you upload to Teams is over the default limited, you need to change it from the Admin page for sharepoint site.
