CCChris_Martin , yes we are experiencing this issue with a few of our Outlook desktop clients but not all. Must be a bug in a recent release that hasn't been pushed out to all our users yet.

Hoping Microsoft replies soon as this is a valuable feature and it's causing some churn for our users, who are afraid to send links as they think the recipients won't be able to open them.

It seems to be all of ours, but then everyone is on the same release version so that would make sense.
Thanks for the workaround!
I tried it yesterday but didn't seem to work but does today so I'll be pushing out a guide to use Outlook in browser for this in the interim.
The very same, it was our go to for all things attachments as it was so simple to follow and the recipient check does the work for you.
It hasn't popped up in the M365 Admin Centre - Service Help either.
I'll update this if I've any progress anyway.
