Hi James,

The problem is not with Outlook.com which shows me the option of attaching as a link. The issue is with Outlook 2016 desktop and yes, I am logged in to my O365 account and I can select Cloud attachments. The issue is that it doesn't ask me if I want to insert the link or the file, it just attaches the file.

Thanks/Brgds

Same thing here.
When I join a recent files, it works. It create an OneDrive link.
But when I do Attach then Browse cloud locations and choose a file from OneDrive it attach the file not the link. I can upload the file in OneDrive but it will do it in another directory on OneDrive... So no interest.

I use Outlook desktop Microsoft 365 apps.
