Is it possible to restrict users from creating channels folders, and files within teams?
Hellomadame206
Since the files you upload to a channel in Teams are stored in the underlying SharePoint site, you will have to workaround this in order for it to "work" like you want.
1: Edit the permissions on the channel libraries in Teams so the users cant create new items
2: Create other libraries directly in the SharePoint site and give the users permissions there
Allthough, you should probably skip step two and just get a Non-Office365 group connected SharePoint site for storing files then.

As a Team owner you can prevent Team members from creating channels under Manage Teams ... Settings ... Member Settings.
You can't prevent people uploading files through Teams however you could if you go into SharePoint and change permissions there.
So, since there is no way to restrict file or folder creation within teams, sync issues may still arise????StevenC365 .
We will still want users to be able to create files & folders within Sharepoint.

Oliwer sjöbergAll files are stored in SharePoint, I am not familiar with the sync issue - is it just the view of the SharePoint documents in Teams. not refreshing?
You can remove permissions to the underlying default "Documents" so all your users could not add files into that document library. As long as new channels weren't created that would work.
If you then create further document libraries in the underlying SharePoint site and tab in those document libraries that would work.
