Teams - Creating and Uploading Files – Century 21 Affiliated: Help Desk

Your files library

Within each team there are channels. Think of these channels as a place for your entire team to discuss a specific topic, like upcoming training, or project updates. Each channel has its own file folder where you can share files for that specific channel. To access that folder go to the channel and select the Files tab above the conversation window.

The files library lets you collaborate on files with your team

In the library you can upload existing files or create new ones. When you upload a file, it creates a copy in Teams.

Upload existing files

There are two primary ways to upload existing files into your library. Both methods start by going to the files folder for your channel and both methods, by default, upload copies of your files to the channel file folder.

Drag and drop - Using your mouse, drag the file from where it's currently located and drop it on the Teams window among the files.
Upload - Select Upload, then select the file (or files) you'd like to upload, and select Open.

Any files you upload will be accessible by any member of your team.

Create a file

To create a Word, PowerPoint, or Excel document in Teams, select New, then select the kind of file you'd like to create. The new file will open in Teams so you can begin editing it, and if you'd prefer to work in the desktop version of the app, select More options More options button to the left of the Close button on the ribbon.

As soon as it's created your new file will be available for your team members to edit as well.
