Sharing files within a Channel

You can find one or more Channels within each Microsoft Team.  The Channel will have it's own Files tab where you can share files and engage in a more focused discussion with your team. 

Note: This is not to be confused with the Files button on the left-hand navigation pane.  The Files button on the navigation pane gives you access to ALL of your cloud files rather than just the files for that specific channel.
