    Yes, that's the issue. Files you upload in 1:1/group chats are stored in your OneDrive for business site (not personal OneDrive), whilst files uploaded to channel conversations are stored within the Team's site. Since you don't have an ODFB site in said tenant, you cannot upload.

Hi All,

I have set up a Team with a number of external organisations and I don't seem to have the option to add an attachment either. Do you have any ideas what the reason would be?

    David_Jack Thank you so much for getting back. It is actually the chat while in a meeting that I am referring to and don't have the option to attach a file for some reason.  Will check out popping out the chat next time we convene externally to see if it works.

     

    Thanks again 🙂
