Files in Teams (Original)
This guide provides instructions on how to:
- create and upload files
- create quick access to a file (e.g. create a tab or pin a file)
- share the file link in a post, chat/group chat or email.
Note: You can create your own group chat for collaboration in Teams.
4. Post/share file links in Teams
Notes:
- Posting/sharing the link of the uploaded/created file in a channel provides all channel members with access to collaborate.
- Posting/sharing the link of a file from your personal drive will not provide others with access to collaborate unless you edit the link setting to provide access to users in your organisation or share the file link via email to the receiver.
