Question

Create a shortcut in a Teams/SharePoint folder to another SharePoint folder in a different location.

Anonymous

Hello,

As the question suggests. I have a folder in one team's SharePoint that I would like to link to another. The reason is that they will routinely update this folder and instead of copying and pasting all the time, it would just be easier to have it linked. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Resolved - Just create a shortcut via 'Show More Options' and paste it in the folder you want.

Dear respected James Verner,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

As per your description, could you please try to use "Link" feature in SharePoint online document library to copy linked Folder to another SharePoint online document library to see if this meet your need.

For example, select the Folder from SharePoint online document library(that you want to link) and choose "Copy link" from the context menu, then go to another SharePoint online document library under the "New" menu click "Link"> **** In the dialog box, paste the link you copied earlier from the source folder. Also have the option to rename the shortcut to make it clear where it's pointing to.

This shortcut will now appear in the destination library, and clicking on it will take users directly to the source folder.

Appreciate your patience and understanding and thank you for your time and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Waqas Muhammad
