This How.com.vn teaches you how to share files on your Slack team workspace using Windows or macOS.
Steps
Open Slack. It's in the Applications folder on a Mac or the Windows menu on a PC.- You can also access Slack by visiting your team's URL in a web browser.
Click the channel where you want to share the file. Channels appear in the purple column along the left side of the window.
Click +. It's to the left of the message box at the bottom of the channel.
Click Your computer. If the file you want to upload is in your Google Drive instead of your computer, select that option instead.
Navigate to the file you want to upload.
Click the file.
Click Open. This opens the “Upload a file?” window.- If you selected a file from your Google Drive, click Select instead—this will upload the file immediately.
Type a name and comment. Adding a comment is optional, but you can use that blank to type some information about the file.
Select an option from the “Share with” drop-down menu. The option you select determines who will have access to the file. Select a specific channel or user, or select your own name to keep it private.
Click Upload. The file will now upload to Slack.Advertisement
