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.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Hmm weird, that would mean that the folder in my example, U4, was created by the system somehow. I have no idea how this would have happened.
I tried creating a new folder in both teams. Both download as OneDrive_etc.
The recording folder also downloads as Recording.zip in my case.
We'll have to deal with it then.
Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate that.
With that said, Thanks for reach out to the MS community.
Kind Regards
