Hi Everyone,
When attaching a file to an email in outlook, sometimes it is attached as a link to Sharepoint which allows for collaboration and sometimes it is attached as a file requiring it to be downloaded, edited and uploaded to Sharepoint again. How can I make attaching the file from Sharepoint by default ?
Thanks & Regards,
Chaitanya

SolutionHi!
If you attach a file from SharePoint or OneDrive you have the ability to attach them as a shared link or attach a copy of the file!
In "file" -> "Options" under general, scroll down a little bit and under attachments options you may choose to by default:
* Attach as link
* Attach as copy
* Always Ask

Make sure you are sending the mail from an office 365 account and also that the file exists in office 365
Please let me know if it works or not :)

You may browse a SharePoint/onedrive location but try sharing the file directly from SharePoint to some address to see if sharing is possible..

Well I do know that you can only do the shared link method with Office files, but while testing this myself, mine just started attaching cloud files by default without asking me to share a link. Restarting Outlook corrected the behavior, but wondering if their might be a bug here. Going to keep an eye on it myself.
