Microsoft Teams will finally support Quick Sharing, making file sharing much easier

For those of you who have asked for a Quick Sharing option in Microsoft Teams, the Redmond-based tech giant has heard your pleas, and the company will finally enhance the platform with the option in a few months.

The announcement was made in a recent entry to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap. Microsoft says the option will allow users to easily share a file from a chat conversation, Shared tab, or a channel post to 1:1 chats, group chats, or other channels.

Users can also mention other members of their Teams group, and they won’t have to worry about privacy as their permissions are maintained.

Here’s what the entry says:

Share a file from a chat conversation, Shared tab or a channel post to 1:1 chats, group chats, or channels with fewer clicks. When files are shared, their permissions are maintained, ensuring that recipients have the appropriate access rights. You can add additional information to your message and @mention recipients for greater clarity and alignment.

The feature will first be available on Desktops and Macs, starting April 2025, but Microsoft will most likely release Quick Sharing on Teams for Mobile, as well.

On this note, Teams will also be enhanced with a new app called Copilot Prompt Gallery, allowing users to search for prompts and use them on Copilot agents.
