How do I share a file in Microsoft Teams?

Share a file with a single person

If you can access a file on your device, you can share the file with other people in Teams. This includes files of any type.
To send a file to a single person, click the plus sign in the bottom right when chatting with that person, and select "Attach file", then "attach cloud files" for files on your OneDrive. You can click the file name once it is added to adjust the settings for the link that will be sent.
