Teams Chat - Unable to see shared documents in the files tab on Teams
Really need some advice on this please, when we are in a chat session we are now unable to share files, and see them in the files tab. Seems to be happening with the whole company.
The files are visible in the main chat window but the files tab is empty.
I have tried dragging the file into the window and it does upload but still doesn't display the files.
I have updated teams, also signed out and removed everything from the teams folder and signed back in but the same happens.
Can anyone offer any suggestions why this is happening , Thanks

Hi,
One of our user also facing this issue.
He can't see any files inside File tab which are shared from other members inside group chat.
So, how can we solve this issue?
- Hi, sounds like it could be a licensing issue, more detailed here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/sharepoint-onedrive-interact
- I’m not sursprised considering the others I mentioned (didn’t even look at the service health).
- Hello, would you mind verifying the behavior using Teams on the web? I've actually heard of several similar issues recently so if the problem persists online and your whole org. are experiencing this you should of course open up a support ticket with Microsoft.
ChristianBergstrom Hello yes the same happens in the Web browser version, I have just logged a ticket with MS so will see what they say and advise and will post any updates here.
