3. Choose the File: A menu will appear, allowing you to choose the type of file you want to share. You can select "File" to upload a file from your computer or "Recent" to select a file you've recently worked on. You can also choose files from other integrated apps like OneDrive or SharePoint.
4. Select the File to Upload: Browse your computer or the connected apps to find and select the file you want to share.

- muhammad_kekereekunIron ContributorIf Prestige Southern Star is experiencing difficulties with sharing PDF files in Microsoft Teams, there could be a few potential solutions to enable sharing of Word files:
1. Check file size: Make sure that the file size is not too large. If it is, it may cause issues with sharing. Try compressing the file to reduce its size and then attempt to share it again.
2. Check permissions: Ensure that the user trying to share the file has the necessary permissions to do so. This can be checked by going to the "Files" tab in Teams, selecting the file, and then clicking on "Manage Access" to see who has access to the file.
3. Check file format: Ensure that the file is in a compatible format. For example, if the file is in an older version of Word, it may not be compatible with Teams. Try converting the file to a newer format and then attempt to share it again.
4. Update Microsoft Teams: Make sure that Microsoft Teams is up to date. Sometimes issues can be caused by outdated software. Go to the Microsoft Teams admin center and check for any available updates.
5. Try an alternative method: If the issue persists, try an alternative method of sharing the file, such as sharing it via OneDrive or SharePoint. This can be done by clicking on the "Share" button next to the file in Teams and selecting the desired option.- abbasbut7869Copper Contributor

Here's how you can do it:
1. Go to the Channel or Chat: Open the Microsoft Teams app and navigate to the specific channel or chat where you want to share the file.
2. Click on the Attach Icon: In the compose box at the bottom of the screen, you'll see an icon that looks like a paperclip. Click on this icon.

Remember that the process may vary slightly depending on the version of Microsoft Teams you're using and your organization's settings. Additionally, if you're sharing a file from OneDrive or SharePoint, it will be linked rather than uploaded, ensuring that everyone accesses the most up-to-date version of the file.
For better organization and access control, consider creating a specific channel or folder for files within Teams. This way, you can keep related files together and make it easier for team members to find what they need.
Lastly, make sure that your organization's file sharing and permissions settings align with your intended sharing method. If you encounter any issues or have specific sharing requirements, you may want to consult your organization's IT department or Teams administrator.
