Hi @Pleasehelp

Teams is renaming the Files tab to the Shared tab and enabling users to view content shared in posts and content in document libraries in one place.

Users can still work with files and folders in the Microsoft SharePoint document library linked to the channel. All existing functionality in the Files tab will be available in the In library view of the Shared tab in channels.

This is very confusing, my collegues don't see this behavior of Teams File TAB,(in German "Dateien") they still have this tab. Just me see the tab named "Freigegeben" (probably "shared Tab" in german) Our Students also see the TAB "Dateien"
