When I share files in Microsoft Teams, where are they are being stored?
While Teams gives you a place to easily access and upload content, the files you share within Teams are actually being stored using cloud storage in SharePoint or OneDrive.
Files that you share in a:
- 1:1 or small group chat- Stored in a folder in OneDrive; only shared with people who are in that conversation
- Standard channel- Stored in the corresponding folder on the team's SharePoint site; accessible to the whole team
- Private channel- Stored in a folder on a separate SharePoint site; permissions on this SharePoint site are different than those of the regular team (access is determined by the channel membership)
