Make rename in Teams reflect name changes in Sharepoint?
When I rename a folder in the Teams app, the underlying folder is not renamed in sharepoint. This is most confusing.

Quick update on this suggestion. We are still working on this with MS Teams. We don’t have an ETA to share still.

Hi, we have an issue as we renamed a channel in Teams where the files inside the channel still point to the old channel name so the files don't appear now in teams under the new channel name.
We can still see the files in office.com under the new name but can no longer see them in Teams.I love teams, but it is problematic if we can't change names....and have a way to fix links that break between Teams and Sharepoint....Please don't ask us to never change channel names or not to move files around - we need to have ways of combining channels and a good archiving solution also please
Many thanks

Is there at least a workaround to allow the files tab to be able to point to the new renamed folder?

This is a vital part of adopting SharePoint and moving off our local file server. When we start a new project we add a channel for the project in Teams. When the scope of the project evolves we often rename the Teams Channel. But this orphans the SharePoint folder and leaves it with the old channel name which is confusing for users.

Any update on this issue ? It seems that there is not a great synchonization with the Teams team whereas we really need this to be taken into consideration to avoid confusion while working.

This has been brought up as a major problem since 2017. Yet no fix as of 2020??? My corporation which is one of the largest employers in the State of Utah is trying to implement and encourage all employees to use TEAMS. This "bug" is beyond frustrating! If it isn't fixed soon, there are many who say we should just return to using the network drive. This will be extremely disappointing since there are so many other great features to using TEAMS. Please advise when this will be fixed.

@David that may be the case, but that is extremely short sighted of Microsoft. Plus as voted on here and in the teams uservoice you can see that is not how teams is being used by most customers. They need to fix this!
