Louisani84 one more thing too look at - if you’re chatting with an external person, you can’t share files. This is by design to keep your data safe.
if you still need to share the file, you may be able to share a link instead, depending on your company’s policies.

HelloBenTeoh seriously , what is wrong with you guys at MS. You're so out of touch! I'm a startujp. I won the business. Who are you to tell me I cannot und er any circumstances share data via attachments?
Why not make a flag? 20 mins of coding and 1 hour of testing. So what's that? Maybe USD 16-17m to make the change? I'm sure you can afford that by not hiring an intern this summer. Get in touch with the people using your systems!

peter155 hey, they easiest option would be to use the sharing feature in OneDrive/SharePoint and share the link. It'll also mean you can manage the access and permission levels for the external person.

HelloBenTeoh We don't want Microsoft deciding to protect us from our own workflow.
Until the Teams group gets its act together, we will just keep easily sharing files with our counterparts in organizations through Zoom's chat functions.- HelloBenTeohFeb 23, 2024Bronze Contributor

found the issue, as weird as it sounds user shares the same email address as an employee who left about a month ago, so he doesnt have access to his onedrive which is where teams files are stored
