How do I share files in Teams?
All of the users in a Team will have access to the files in the channels for that Team (except private channels). You can add files to a Team by selecting a channel, then the “Files” tab and either dragging a file the area containing files, or by selecting “Upload”. You can also share files in a chat in the same way.

Where are the files kept?
- For every team, a SharePoint site is created, and the Shared Documents folder is the default folder created for the team. Each standard channel, including the General channel (the default channel for each team) has a folder in Shared Documents.
- For every user, the OneDrive folder Microsoft Teams Chat Files is used to store all files shared within private chats with other users (1:1 or 1:many), with permissions configured automatically to restrict access to the intended user only.
