If you have a file that you need to share with someone, you can send it through a Teams chat.
Share a File
- Click the Attach button below the message box.
- Select a source for a file.
Choose whether you want to share a file that's saved to your OneDrive or upload one from your computer.
- Select a file.
- Click Open.
- Click Send.
The file is uploaded to Teams, but not yet sent. You can add a message before sending it or send it without one.
The file is sent, and your recipient can open or save it.
View Shared Files
Files that are sent through a chat are first uploaded to Teams. This allows you to view and download files that you have either sent or received at a later time.
- While in a chat, click the Files
tab.
All of the files shared by anyone in the conversation are displayed in one place, so you don’t have to sift through a long message history to relocate a file.
- Select a file to view command options.
You can download a file, get a link to it, or open some supported file types.
