Microsoft Teams is a security nightmare

Filetransfer with Teams apparently works by uploading the file to a OneDrive connected to a SharePoint connected to an AzureAD. Files are kept untill infinity (or untill your Quota runs out). Don’t ask.

The best thing is:

  • share file.txt with user A
  • forget about it (as i said, by default that could be years later)
  • share file.txt with user B
  • see the following dialog (german version, it says cancel/keep both/overwrite)

  • choose “overwrite”, mind you that is the default here
  • now user A (you remeber the one from way back) can download the file again and gets the new version probably intended only for user B
  • bang your head against the wall
