cannot send files through Skype for business on Mac
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!

Still staying tuned. Any progress?
Sorry guys, did you read this read? This works since December 2017, for Sfb 2015 OnPremises you need the Server 2015 December update and set the EnableFileTransfer value to $true via the cmdlet set-CsPlatformServiceSettings
- Any updates? It has passed quite some time!
Support for file transfer in 1-on-1 chats is supported for Skype for Business Online and Skype for Business 2015 server customers. If you have SfB 2015 server, you must install the December 2017 update and set the appropriate policies.
Wow, This was posted in 2016. It's 2018 now and "still" no attachments can be sent via SfB for mac. It's almost as if Microsoft is deliberately hampering the mac product line. I can't imagine why they would want to do that *blush*.As others have noted, support for Skype for Business 2015 server customers requires installing the December update and enabling certain policies.
- Not shure if you haven't read the whole thread, but this works in O365 for "ages" and in SfB on-premises since December
Works in O365 version, my company has gone over to O365. Maybe a dastardly plan to get everyone on O365. Rumour has it that Skype is getting phased out in favour of Teams :P
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

This is par for the course with Microsoft in how it handles other platforms that it wants to support. I don't think it would be horribly difficult to just offer the same exact functionality and user experience between all platforms. For instance, remember Entourage? And we still don't have Visio on the Mac!
- Visio for Mac OMG yes!!! How much I wish it existed. I was an ex graphic designer so I have my own copy of CS6 then change my career to become a mac engineer. Having Visio for mac would be amazing as doing network diagrams in Illustrator is ok but not Visio. Microsoft you need to see the bigger picture here. Not all of us use windows in IT
This. Is. A. Joke. Useless piece of crap software.
Any update on this? I'm trying to get people to adopt and this is a huge barrier for us. I'm astounded this is not a feature.
we have a simillar problem (organization with ~60000 people )
inability to send pictures - share documents - send files , directly from within skype is just riddiculous!
right now we started looking into Slack, or maybe even switching to google services...
You can use Microsoft Teams included in the Office 365 suite. It is a Slack clone.
Thanks Mirunan!
