    Hi Kave, can you locate the file you need to open, and then click the "...", and then choose "Open>" that has the dropdown, and make sure you're clicking the option "Edit in Teams"? 

     

    In case you don't see that option, feel free to send me a screenshot of the options you see on your end.

Great, this worked fine. It has now defaulted to this option.

 

Very strange this happened to two customers at the same time.

I will notify them how it works now.

Thank you

    DO you have any information when it will work with the new Teams launched in preview?

    They have removed Cloud storage from Files and added "apps" instead.

      At the moment, we don't have further info about this. I'm not sure if Teams has added info on their end, but we'll make sure to update the thread if we do Kave.
