Current practice: Org is a law firm with one tenant, that has multiple subsites and some secondary subsites below those. Subsites are topical, one of which contains active clients, and each of those has a subsite. Matters are folders within the subsites. Collaboration with externals is either by invitaton per file or by access by Entra groups that include the necessary externals. This allows easy synching via the OneDrive client, easy searching, and easy archiving. 

Objective: To use Teams for internals and externals on cases requiring a lot of collaboration. 

Problem: If one sets up a team in Teams with channels for cases, unless something has changed those files are kept in a dedicated SPO site, located hierarchically directly under the tenant. That interrupts the current file management system. Is there a way to use Teams and channels with externals while keeping the files in their current SPO subsites and folders? Or am I envisioning incorrectly how this would work?
