file upload option disappearing in teams bot
We have Teams bot (we're the developer).
When users first start teams, they have the file upload option available under the + button next to the type a message box.
However, shortly afterwards, this option disappears. Not all users, just some. Seems to occur for both Mac and Windows users.
Our manifest looks like this:
{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/json-schemas/teams/v1.19/MicrosoftTeams.schema.json",
"manifestVersion": "1.19",

}
```
As far as I can see from the current manifest schema, the bot needs no other scopes.
Is this a known bug or are we screwing something up with the config? Any help appreciated!

still the same issue here as well. we noticed this while having training sessions (a lot of documents uploads). Personally, i upload the most documents (using teams MacOS and windows client) and never got the button to disappear.
also, i noticed the same behaviour (from user incidents) on two or three different teams' versions
I checked with Network teams to see if anything showing on the denied urls and everything was ok - RAOUF HARBEGCopper Contributor
Hi
same issue here since a week or two. a workaround is to uninstall and reinstall the app but it will eventually redisappear. Microsoft should fix this. any thoughts? - barrettaboltCopper Contributor
Hi Sayali,
I'll get the Windows version for you. On Mac - 25044.2406.3471.4570.
Reproduce: Open Teams, attach a file to bot. Wait a while, file attach option disappears
Not sure what else I can give you tbh!- Sayali-MSFT

In addition to the information supplied in my prior message - I have an unproven hunch that it could be related to the number of messages in the history for the bot. If you can guide me on collecting information from the support logs, happy to provide info here. Sound like others are seeing the same issue
