Teams Chat within Microsoft Teams is a feature-rich application for connecting and communicating with others in your organization. Teams Chat offers conversational functionality that fosters a collaborative and efficient environment within which to work. Teams Chat allows chat participants to share files quickly and easily with one another. Shared files are accessible to all chat participants via the Files tab at the top of the chat conversation. File access permissions can be adjusted to allow chat participants to view only, suggest edits, or make edits.

To share a file within a chat and manage file access, select the Attach Files paperclip icon located beneath the text entry box. Locate the file either in your OneDrive or from your device, add it to the message, and select Send.
