Store and access files in Teams anywhere, anytime. Upload files to a specific channel or chat to give others access to their content.

Access files in Teams for desktop

Select OneDrive  on the leftmost side of Teams to access your files. In OneDrive, you can search and filter files to find the ones you need. 

Files in channels and chats

Files you upload to a channel are stored in your team's SharePoint folder. These files are available in the Files tab at the top of each channel.

Files you send in chat are stored in your OneDrive for Business and only shared with the people in that conversation. You can find them in the Shared tab at the top of a chat.

Note: The OneDrive files you see in Teams are OneDrive for Business files associated with your Microsoft 365 account, not your personal OneDrive. Teams can't currently connect to your personal OneDrive.
