Storage location of uploaded photos by using the app (iOS)

Copper Contributor

Hello,
when i upload a picture to a conversation using the app (iOS), it does not appear under Files.

Where are these files stored?

Anyone here has an advice?

thanks

Hi @Johannes Geisler

See here

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/location-of-data-in-teams

Images and media
Media used in chats (except for Giphy GIFs which aren't stored but are a reference link to the original Giphy service URL, Giphy is a non-Microsoft service) is stored in an Azure-based media service that is deployed to the same locations as the chat service.

It is then ingested into the mailbox in an inaccessible area for compliance purposes. Unfortunately, it isn't stored in SharePoint - that is by design

Hope that answers your question!

Best, Chris
