Where are my Loop components actually stored?

LAST UPDATE: 16/12/2025

If you are reading this article, you probably know that Loop components can be used from different applications in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, Teams, Outlook, Word for the web and more.

You might also know that a loop component is actually a file with .loop extension. However, where is this file actually stored? This information might be useful for end users and administrators, some of these locations are documented and some are not, in this table I try to keep record of all the possible scenarios and their corresponding storage location for the loop file.
