Does Microsoft Teams Free require a Professional OneDrive account?
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.

Teams 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 Essentials

Hope that answers your question

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.
- Hmm, another article I have found has a solution to this
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams/unable-to-access-files-in-a-new-team/m-p/760106#M35120
Can you try that and let me know how you get on? Otherwise if it doesn't resolve it continue with the wait to see if it self resolves, the workaround suggested above or a ticket

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.https://products.office.com/pt-pt/microsoft-teams/free?market=pt

It 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 chats
Hope that helps - if you could attach a screenshot may help me understand more
