    Hello,

    The 404 error typically indicates that the files or the path to them cannot be found. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

    1. Check SharePoint: Ensure that the files are present in the SharePoint site associated with the Teams channel. Sometimes, files might not be properly restored and could still be in the SharePoint Recycle Bin.
    2. Clear Cache: Clear the Teams cache. This can sometimes resolve issues related to file access:

    Windows: %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams

    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Teams

    Delete all files in this directory.

    1. Use PowerShell: Try restoring the SharePoint site associated with the Teams channel using PowerShell:
    Restore-SPODeletedSite -Identity <team site url>
    

    Replace <team site url> with the URL of the SharePoint site.

    1. Check Permissions: Ensure that the permissions for the restored channel and its files are correctly set. Sometimes, permissions might not be fully restored, causing access issues.

    If there are any misunderstandings, please let me know

    Best regards,
