Share a file as email attachment not as a link in SharePoint
Is it possible to share a file as email attachment not as a link in SharePoint? I think in the past it was possible.

OOTB this is not possible. It requires downloading of the SharePoint document, creating a new email in Outlook and attaching the downloaded file.
Alternatives:
1. There are 3rd party SharePoint apps that offer this capability (https://www.slimapplications.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/EmailManagerMailItemSPFx.png). This allows users to select one or more documents in SharePoint and attach them to a new email.
2. Use PowerAutomate
Paul_HK_de_Jong could you provide a sample of a 3rd party SharePoint app?
