How do I share a file in Microsoft Teams?

 

Resolution:  

 

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) that are:

  • On the Files tab of your channels and chats.
  • In your OneDrive or other cloud storage.
  • On your local device.
  • And there are two ways to share files in chat messages: 
  • Send the file itself.
  • Send a link to the file.
  • Shared in a one-on-one or group chat

 

1)  Select Attach beneath the box where you type a message, and then either OneDrive or Upload from my computer (depending on where the file is located).

 

2)  Select the file and then select Share or Open.

 

3)  This will upload a copy of your original file.

 

4)  You can also upload a file by going to the Files tab and selecting Share.
