Feedback

This page doesn't answer the question shown. There's a lot of detail about the integration of Teams and SharePoint but it doesn't actually highlight - at the top - the answer. Which is 'Yes, when you are saving a document in Teams files you are saving it in SharePoint." Then you can give the technical detail for folks who want to read that far. Easy to miss when you know alot about the product but the simple answer is what's needed.

Thanks, @karuanag. Does this line in the second section What's the relationship between the two? not address this adequately? We could certainly pull it higher in the article if you think that would be better.

"As you can see above, a site is created to store your documents. Meaning that each time you share files in a Team, they are stored in the associated site in SharePoint! Not in Microsoft Teams."
