Can't drag title bar icon for OneDrive files

Question

Something happened with Mac OS, or OneDrive, or my computer.... Can anyone confirm or replicate?

I often have a doc open in word and I want to send to someone, so I save it and drag the title bar icon, maybe called the proxy icon, to an Outlook email or into Teams. There are other ways to do it, but i like that one.

At some point in time that stopped working for OneDrive hosted files. Files not in OneDrive it works fine including files in DropBox.

Can anyone confirm or deny it works that way for them?

RobOK&nbsp;Even I have the same question. I can drag non-onedrive word files from the title bar, but not the ones saved on onedrive.&nbsp;

I think it must have because that's how I've always shared files. So if it didn't earlier as well, I'd have known.I hope they see this thread.

I have the same problem. Can we please have Autosave, Cloud + a working proxy icon? It works in Pages...

masseyy&nbsp;Thank you for confirming!&nbsp;Do you think it worked in the past? (I do)&nbsp;I think a Mac OS upgrade changed the permissions or something, but I don't know how to get anyone from Microsoft to look into it.

Same here, y'all. Interestingly, when you use the drop down in the window title bar, you don't get the system standard window that allows you to move the document either. You cannot move it to any local directory, only OneDrive directories. Another thing that points to the application's permissions.Curious, I'm using the app store version of OneDrive on m Mac. Are you both, also? I wonder if the build you download directly from Microsoft is any different since it wouldn't have to adhere to App Store rules.
