    Hi @Terry Chan ,

    Is there way to restrict user upload file to a team channel?

    Currently, there's no option from within Teams to prevent users from uploading files to a team channel. However, if you are the team owner, you could go to SharePoint and modify the permissions there:

    1. Click "Open in SharePoint" in the Files tab of the team channel:

    2. Login SharePoint and click "Manage access" on the right pane.
    3. Change the permission of members to "can view".

    Then the members would not be able to upload files into the channel any more:

    But the owner would still be able to upload, right?
