Hi,

this is correct, File Transfer is currently only available for users homed in Office 365. The best source to learn about released features is https://support.office.com/en-us/article/What-s-new-in-Skype-for-Business-2016-cece9f93-add1-4d93-9a38-56cc598e5781?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US&fromAR=1#OS_Type=Mac

"Peer-to-peer file transfer is enabled for Skype for Business Online."

I will also clarify the referenced blog article.

Thanks,

thomas

I've downloaded and installed Skype for Business from my Office 365 portal (portal.office.com).

So this must be the Office 365 version, no?

Sorry for the Dutch language UI, couldn't change it to English

File Transfer is only available if you sign in against Skype for Business Online, not if you are using Skype for Business Server on premises.
