How to disable automatic posts that are made to chat when new files are uploaded?
Is there some way to stop the automatic posts that occur in the chat when a new file is uploaded? We're using Teams as the hub for an online class. The files we add are often for units that are weeks in the future, and it is confusing to students to have notifications about those files appear in chat as though they are currently important. We would like to be able to add files to the Team "silently."

- Did you upload the files in the files folder?
adam deltinger Yes, these are files uploaded to folders in the files tab. But each one then appears as an automatic post in the chat, as well, like a notification that a file has been uploaded.
See the last post here--that is an example of the automatic posts that occur after we upload a file to the files tab.
If I use the Upload > Files option available while on the Files tab and then select a file to upload, I do not see the message back on the Posts tab.
However, if use the "Attach" icon from the Posts tab, a post is created like you shown in your image.
Can you confirm that you're using the former method, and not the latter?
