Upload files to Nextcloud via the Drag-and-drop in Microsoft Teams

Sendent supports the drag-and-drop feature within Microsoft Teams. This allows end-users to conveniently drag files into their Microsoft Teams window and upload them directly to Nextcloud. This guide will walk you through how to use this feature in your organization’s Teams chats.

Note: The drag-and-drop feature must be configured for the Sendent for Teams app. If you are administrator, refer to this article for a step by step guide on how to enable the feature.

Note: The drag-and-drop feature only works on Desktop environments, and not on mobile devices.

Tip: You can also upload files to Nextcloud using the plus (+) button in your Teams chat. See this article for more details.
