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.
Kind Regards

Regarding files you have to set custom SharePoint permissions on the different libraries

Mina_Medhat Hello, have a look here as it's where you turn off private channel creation https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-policies
I'm afraid I can't verify myself right now..
This is also for private channels just to put it out there https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/skype/new-csteamschannelspolicy?view=skype-ps
As for the standard channels the Set-Team cmdlet can at least be used.
-AllowCreateUpdateChannels"Setting that determines whether or not members (and not just owners) are allowed to create channels."
