How SharePoint Online supplies experiences to other Microsoft 365 services

As mentioned earlier, SharePoint supplies rich experiences, content management capabilities, and a platform for other Microsoft 365 services. We’ll look at how that works here with the different services.

The Files tab on Microsoft Teams channels is a view of files and folders stored in the SharePoint document library connected to the Teams team. The Files tab is actually hosted on an application page on the SharePoint side:
