Hiding Teams/sharepoint storage in the Teams UI

Our messaging extension has good capability to insert files from our 3rd party app. We also have a tab that duplicates the need for the Files tab with teams and sharepoint storage. The point is that our customers don't want to use the Teams, OneDrive, or SharePoint storage. I've looked into the Office Customization Tool, powershell scripts, etc to determine the exact config settings to hide the Microsoft native storage options in the UI. I can't determine if the use cases below are feasible. Can someone point me to the documentation for these use cases? Use Case 1: hide the paper clip icon (aka "Attach cloud files") from the posts UI Use Case 2: hide the native Files tab in a channel

    Hello @PaulOdette-0500 - Hope you are doing well!!
    Yes, you can use PowerShell commands to do it:

    Set-CsTeamsFilesPolicy -Identity Global -NativeFileEntryPoints Disabled
