What is the file sharing limit on Microsoft Teams private chat

I have managed to identified limits on the number of attachments to a message in the Microsoft Teams chat - but can't seem to find the actual file size limit for files you can attach to a message in a private chat. 

 

I believe there is one below 478MB as I received an error when trying to transfer that amount. 

 

Does anyone know a work around for this limit and whether it can be increased?

 

Thanks,

KL

    KL123 When you upload a file to a chat it actually uploads to your OneDrive and is shared with the user from there. Currently the limit for file upload to OneDrive is 15 GB but a rollout is ongoing to increase it to 100 GB.

      Hi ParLinderoth , 

       

      Thanks for responding. Do you know if there is a different limit on the mobile app?

       

      Thanks,

      Kate

        KL123 Nothing that I am aware of but I guess it can be more sensitive to bandwidth drops if you are on 4G and move around for example.
