Clarification: 1:1 file transfer is support in SFB Mac for Skype for Business Online users. Support for SBF Server 2015 and Lync Server 2013 users is currently being worked on. It currently planned for next update of SFB Server 2015 and Lync server 2013.Hi Microsoft
Any news on this? Seems really poor that this feature has been dropped!! I work in IT and rely on being able to send colleagues screenshots through SFB on my Mac. Is this going to be addressed? If so when? As you can see others rely on this feature too. Why is it that this app does not perfom as the Windows version does? I am even having trouble with trying to sign in with a Lync phone using the new SFB - its rubbish. If you actually realise, not everyone is a Windows user!!! Please look at rolling out something that works the same as the Windows version and soon.Thanks

I'm tired of waiting for basic features.
We are going to Slack to replace Skype for Business.
Sending messages by Skype 4B isn't the greatest experience, Teams is clearly the future of a chat based workspace, and with the latest updates is equal if not better than Slack. It has equal capability on mac and pc.
Skype4B is for calls and meetings.
I was shocked to find out today that you can't send attachments through Mac's Skype for business client. How does this not top the list of features? Having a mixed environment, it's these kinds of overlooked major featues that are making my mac users clamor to get rid of O365.
A typical Microsoft laidback attitude that reflects in its products
Thank you all for the feedback. We absolutely do want to add file transfer to our client and are working on this. At this point, I don't have a timeline to share yet, but please to stay tuned.
Thanks!

- This feature alone is a huge factor in our organization holding back on implementing SfB for Mac.
Microsoft conciders that this feature is less important than group management as this feature was added in the last build... This is one of the most important feature for an IM software. I'm pretty sure that the SfB team at Microsoft don't use this software :-)
Hope to see this soon in a future release.
And of course, it would be so great that messages gets delivered with reliability but this is just a dream...
Thanks Vincent! SfB team at Microsoft need to understand the importance of user experience, accessibility and convenience. They should reinstate this feature of exchanging files via SfB without going to emails back and forth. Hope they will work on this soon.
