6. Storage
Each team in Microsoft Teams has a team site in SharePoint Online, and each channel in a team has a folder in the default team site's document library. Files shared in a conversation are automatically added to the document library, and file permissions and security preferences set up in SharePoint are automatically mapped to Microsoft Teams.
If you don't enable SharePoint Online for your organization, Microsoft Teams users cannot share files in Teams. Users in private chat also can't share files because OneDrive for Business (which is tied to the SharePoint license) is required for that functionality.
Since document files are stored in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business document libraries, all configurations that have been set up for your organization will be followed.
Because Teams works on the SharePoint Online Backend for file sharing, SharePoint restrictions apply to files in Teams.
Below are the storage limits that apply to SharePoint Online.
