Microsoft Teams - Download a folder as a zip file

Anonymous

Hello everybody,

I received a question from an end user about downloading a folder from within Microsoft Teams.

When clicking "Download" on a folder, the user wants the ZIP file to retain its original folder name.

As per my knowledge, when downloading a folder the system automatically generates a ZIP file and prompts me to save the file with file name "OneDrive_2021-10-15".

I was surprised to see another user experiencing different behavior. For this second user, Teams actually prompted to save the folder as its original name i.e. Quotes.zip.

I was trying to find an answer, but could not find any explanation.

Does someone know a little bit more about this behavior?

Many thanks.

I'm wondering, did the use download files via the chat tab on the left menu? or the files tab on the channel?

Hi Daniel, thanks for your prompt reply.

The users used the files tab on the teams channel.
