How to upload teams background images to entire org using Intune using Sharepoint folder

Question

We are currently trying to move away from GPOs and use Intune instead for most policies to not be dependent on domain-connectivity. Because of this we are looking for a way to replace our GPO that pushes custom teams background images to our users. The exisiting GPO uses a shared folder on a fileserver and copies every image from that folder into "%appdata%/.../Teams/.../Uploads" and this works great.

My requirements for the new solution is that it is easy to maintain and can be used to delete images. Preferrably in a way that the marketing team themselves can can manage which images gets pushed out.

Most solutions i have found by googling recommends packaging the images with a powershellscript into a win32 app in intune and push it to clients by installing said win32 app.

This solution does not meet my requirement of being easy to maintain as it requires the app to be repackaged every time a new background is needed.

I would also want the new solution to use a Sharepoint folder or similar (again to not be dependent on domain connectivity). Is there a good way to have a read only Sharepoint folder available for every user in the organisation without showing up in onedrive or similar?

Is there any good solution to this problem?

@Anders Lund, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based on my researching, to upload teams background image via Intune, we can choose win32 or Azure storage blob. If win32 is not what you want, you can consider use Azure storage blob. Here is a link with more details for your reference:

Hope the above information can help.
