Can i set up dynamic filter to find files from multiple document libraries in the same MS Teams Sharepoint. I dont have admin rights but im the one who create the MS Teams Channel Owner and i have multiple document libraries and channels

[@ShawnTerry]

Can you go a little more into large data sets? I just uploaded about 240k text files to clean up archived data from a server and we can't find all the file names using search. I'm not understanding how indexing and such work with that.

So, I just upgraded to the new teams and can't find the "files" tab on any of my teams now. What do I do??

[@your365coach]

I'd try reverting back to the old Teams (it's under the Settings Menu) and checking if they re-appear. Either way, if it continues I would recommend speaking to Microsoft Support to find out more, as it sounds like a bug.

@@your365coach Thanks, I didn't know I could revert back to the old one.
