Drop your files here box won't go away

My normal chat bar has been replaced by the file sharing bar. How do I return to a normal chat bar??

    I just had the same issue, my fix (for now) has been dragging an item into the chat, pressing the X on the following prompt.

    I hope this helps. 

    With my issue, it seems to happen when you click and drag a file to a browser.

  • This bug is so annoying. Couple this with the multitude of other bugs and it's really making me want to persuade my organization to go back to using Slack.

    Anthony_Jackson I'm seeing the same issue. I'll try to sign out and back in but this seem equivalent to "reboot your machine 3 times". 🙂 Teams should manage its cache properly or at least have a "clear cache because we can't be bothered" option.

    This really needs to be fixed urgently, I'm seeing it multiple times a day now.

    Infuriating having to close the app through task manager and start over. Is this actively being worked on do we know?

      Yeah I am seeing it too. It only started about a month ago but it's more frequent. Clearly still a bug.

  • I have this too.
    Workaround:
    - You can still type within the box, but it is greyed out (sometimes).
    - You can open the web browser version of teams to continue the chat in the short term.
    Let me know if this helps.
    Thank you

      Thank you!!!! This was fast and worked perfectly! My issue is resolved.
  • Sounds as if a cache related issue could be a probable cause. A simply sign out / in from top right corner should fix that.
