- 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 john john,
I believe they are stored in the same place:
- Chats are stored in the users Outlook with shared files in the users OneDrive.
- Conversations are stored in the Groups Outlook with shared files in the Groups SharePoint site.
- Conversation meta-data is stored in a blob. The blob location is depended on your tenants setup.
I hope this helps.

- No, chat files and conversations are stored in Teams Cloud Storage...indeed Microsoft is supposed to be evolving this Teams Cloud Storage to use CosmosDB.
jcgonzalezmartin what happens if the files in teams are shared in a group chat, outside of a team - do you know where those are stored? Thanks!
Odd everything I read and was told was that 1 on 1 chats where in Outlook and OneDrive and not in Teams storage.
