Up until very recently, if you added a link to a document residing in SharePoint to Outlook and inputted the user you wished to share the document with it would do a check to see if that user had access.
When the user had access the link would remain blue and when they didn't it would turn red giving you options to Manage Access or send it as an attachment.
This feature worked as recently as Monday this week, which is the last time I used it.
Now when you paste a link it states that "we couldn't verify that recipients can access this link" and gives options to retry or send anyway.
Not only that, but within the document itself (in the case of M65 apps), the option sporadically shows up but more often that not isn't there.
(E.g., in Word: Open Share (top right) > Share (from dropdown menu) > Select Ellipsis (...) > Options here used to be Share in Outlook and Share as Attachment but latter feature is often missing now).
This was a quick way of adding a file to an email as an attachment.
Our users have found the method of adding as an attachment via SharePoint Sites to be quite difficult and labrous. The recent sites options seldom show most recently accessed sites and when they do, it often requires a lot of moving backwards and forwards through folders, especially when attaching multiple files.
It's annoying as the feature that was there was great and a useful way to share files in SharePoint externally as attachments, I'm just not sure why it's gone.
Has anyone else encountered this?
Cheers,
Chris
