Send a file, picture, or link

OVERVIEW

This article describes how to send a file, picture, or link in Microsoft Teams.

When you're in a chat, you can send messages that include files, pictures, or links.

Note: We recommend uploading any team-related files to a team. The files uploaded to a chat will be stored in the uploader's OneDrive, and need to be managed by the owner of that OneDrive. 

For more details on the file ownership between a chat and a team, please visit the file ownership in a team vs. a chat page.
