I am trying to share files for Microsoft teams that have 2 GB of user, but when sending it does not authorize and indicates that it has a professional OneDrive account.

Hi diogo_cerqueiraSee herehttps://support.office.com/en-us/article/Differences-between-Microsoft-Teams-and-Microsoft-Teams-free-0b69cf39-eb52-49af-b255-60d46fdf8a9cTeams free contains several limitations and isn't the full experience. If you are seeing notifications that what you are trying to do is limited then it is advised to convert to a full Office 365 licence. The cheapest one for Teams would be Office 365 Business Essentialshttps://products.office.com/en-gb/business/office-365-business-essentials?activetab=pivot%3aoverviewtabHope that answers your questionBest, Chris

Hi diogo_cerqueiraIt means the organisation has 2gb OneDrive for Business storage per user and 10Gb or SharePoint storage. OneDrive is where you store personal files and SharePoint shared files. Teams uses both storage. SharePoint storage is used for files in actual Teams, and OneDrive when sharing files in personal/group private chatsHope that helps - if you could attach a screenshot may help me understand moreBest, Chris

As you can see (I apologize for the images in Portuguese), but sending files is not allowed. There is an error in the Teams application programming that does not correspond to the published plan.

Thanks for your answer.But in the free teams plan it is said that each user has 2gb included and for group folders there is 10gb. But trying to send a file requires that you have a company one drive plan. I first wanted to test it with my colleagues before implementing it in the company.&nbsp;https://products.office.com/pt-pt/microsoft-teams/free?market=pt&nbsp;

Ok, think I got it from the screenshotsIt looks to be a problem with OneDrive within this Teams Free deployment. If you have the same issue on the web version (https://teams.microsoft.com) then I would open a support ticket ASAP to get this fixedAs a workaround you could set up a Team for the people you are chatting with and then post the file there - this uses sharepoint not onedriveHope that answers your questionBest, Chris
