odella22The "No more multiple file versions. Upload to One drive to collaborate with others in real time" issue is not strictly Excel and the work around is to choose Dismiss. The problem with this feature Microsoft rolled out, is that the default appears to be Upload to OneDrive so even if users don't choose "Upload to OneDrive" it automatically sends as a link.
It doesn't seem this thread is monitored by any actual Microsoft people. Does anyone know who to tag them so maybe we can get an answer? Sally_Richardson can you respond, or find us someone who would know the answers?

We have tried everything. We do not get the option to "dismiss", and even "unlinking" does not work. Hence zipping the file. The user stated that file was never intended to be a "shared file" and that it loaded to OD without asking for permission to do so. This being said, Why does it still happen after removing the OD from the control panel>programs?? : -(

I suspect that it is the size of the file in your users case - perhaps it is larger than they understand it to be. When they zip the file it compresses and can be shared. Also, it is probably attaching from the web based OneDrive so it doesn't matter if it has been removed from their computer.
