- Chats are actually stored in Azure as Juan pointed out. However, if you have Exchange Online on your account, and I think on newer On-Prem exchange works, but copies of all these chats get saved to your inboxes in a hidden folder similar to conversation history from skype for business that is accessible via Content searches.
Team channel conversations are stored in azure and copied to the same folder on the attached group mailbox (hidden) similar to chats.
Files in chats get saved to the uploaders or chat starter's MIcrosoft Teams Chat Files (Upload) or inplace share from OneDrive.
Files in Teams are stored in default documents library in attached SharePoint site.
The Outlook link is to the Office 365 group inbox which is basically a shared e-mail inbox with group membership.
Hope this helps.
Hi. First, understand that Group conversations are NOT the same as Teams chats. Your Outlook example is showing you replying to the underlying group. These are stored as regular email messages in the Group mailbox.
Teams chat uses a different mechanism, more similar to Skype for Business. (IIRC) Chat is initially persisted in the Teams app itself (which uses Azure for storage), and then archived/logged to a hidden folder in the appropriate Exchange Online mailbox (group or personal, depending on the context).
