files attaching as links by default rather than copies

Question

Hi there, I have a few files that I need to share as copies rather than links. When I go to share I only get the option to share as a link and not a copy (when directly sharing from the file eg an excel file) This is the case for some files and not others. Is there a specific reason for this? any help much appreciated.

If you select File &gt; Share, don't you see an option 'Send as Attachment'?

Hi Hans, with some files i do have an option but with others I only have the option to copy the link or send the link in an email, no option to actually attach the file in outlook, unless I save the file, open outlook and then attach the file. The share option is really quick when using it from the application but I need to attach the file and not the share link.

Solution is to customize QAT and add Send to it.

SergeiBaklan&nbsp;&nbsp;I am not familiar with&nbsp;QAT and add Send to it, are their instructions?&nbsp; This is a recent change I have noticed, did Microsoft make a change in recent upgrade or possibly how Azure/Sharepoint settings are handled?
