Windows 11 users can now easily share files on Teams through Windows Share

Microsoft just released the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.2776 (KB5032292) to the Beta Channel, and while the build doesn’t bring any new features, it does come with some important changes and improvements to the operating system.

One of these changes, and probably the most important of them all, is the Microsoft Teams integration within Windows Share. More precisely, Windows 11 users who are signed in with Microsoft Entra ID, can now share files to specific Microsoft Teams Channels and groups directly within the Windows Share window.

This feature will allow for easier communication with friends, family, or work colleagues, without having to open Teams and manually drag and drop files.

The feature is now available to the Beta Channel meaning it will hit the stable Windows 11 channel in a few weeks. Below you’ll find all the changes and improvements coming with this build.

The account backs up all your data and helps you manage your subscriptions. You can also add extra security steps to keep you from being locked out of your account. This feature displays notifications across the Start menu and Settings. You can manage Settings notifications in Settings > Privacy & security > General.
