Hi StevenC365 , unfortunately images are stored too if you use the "Attach" icon to send it.
If you use Copy/Paste resource, images won't be stored there.

thiagofonseca If you upload an image as a file from your local machine using the desktop or web version of Teams it will be a file. If you copy/paste, or insert an image on mobile or take a picture it won't be a file and will only be in the media service.

EricSpletzer AFAIK there isn't a way to access the Teams media service directly, so you would have to download/upload to get them into SharePoint.
