Hi falmvtex

Always a good idea to search this community or online resources on a subject to save yourself some time. Like this previous post: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams/uploaded-documents-by-guests/m-p/115440

Let the community know if you still need further help. Thank you for being a member of the Teams community!

Hi falmvtex ,

Guest settings for SharePoint need to be on for guests to be able to upload files. These are in the SharePoint Admin centre and you will need SharePoint Admin role to be able to amend these. Once they are done at the tenant level you then need to open up guest access at the site collection level.

Once you have guest access turned on at the tenant level any further Teams by default have guest access turned on in SharePoint.

Thank you! I got as far as turning the access on, but I was more curious as to the mechanism for guests uploading and managing their files in the Team.
