Hi TalalJavaid

- For files in channels it uses SharePoint Storage, for files in private chat it uses OneDrive


- SharePoint storage comes in a common pool: it is 1Tb + 10Gb per licence purchased (see link below)

 

- You could potentially restrict Teams storage by restricting the SharePoint storage, however it's not really recommended (see string https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Teams/Storage-Quota-for-Microsoft-Teams/td-p/106923). However, this article will discuss more about storage and limits (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/limits-specifications-teams) 


- Can purchase additional file storage for SharePoint should it hit the site limit directly through billing if you are direct with Microsoft or via your CSP Partner (see link below)

 

See here for more on SharePoint storage per tenant and purchasing more.

Hope that answers your questions!

Best, Chris
