Sync Teams/ SharePoint Files
Open the Team you would like to sync to your desktop within Microsoft Teams, either through the app, or the web version at teams.microsoft.com. Then click on "Files." It will automatically open one folder down into General, but to sync everything you want to click on "Documents" to navigate to the root folder. Then click on "Sync." If you are using the web version and your browser requests permission to use "Microsoft OneDrive," confirm that it's okay.
Select all folders to sync if given the option.
The files will sync to a folder on your PC that has the name of your organization. This folder is automatically added to the left pane in File Explorer.
Now you can work on and add files to these folders. The files will automatically sync to Microsoft's cloud for other team members to access.
