Map subscription on workshop

[Coolchou Zhao]

Is there anyway I can play let me friends play my workshop map without extracting files, just click the subscribe button and the map is in the tf map folder?

If what you're saying is whether your friends can play your map by subscribing on the workshop then yes- although it doesn't download to the tf folder.
When the map downloads, it goes to:

Steam> SteamApps> Workshop> Content> 440 (look through all the folders in there until you find the map).
You can then copy and paste the map into tf> maps and then load it in TF2.​

Yeah, I asked them to test it, and I'm pretty sure 90% of them can't extract filed

Are they struggling to find the .bsp or struggling to load it once in TF2?

Alternatively, they can put this in the console:

map workshop/<NUMBERS IN URL OF MAP ON WORKSHOP>
To see the the numbers, they need to have URL display option enabled in steam​
