OneDrive sharing
Hello, I am pretty new to the OneDrive - SharePoint part of MS. I handle extremely sensitive files, and for that reason I chose MS over other file sharing providers. When I send links via the "share" option in One Drive, the recipient is not getting any email. Likewise, when I request files, the recipient is not getting notified of the request, and even after they upload documents, it uploads in my OneDrive, but I am not notified. Is that the standard? Do I need a exchange email for that? Can I use my standard email (Hosted by gmail)? Thank you very much. P.S. if I copy the link, it does work

Sharing one drive files directly from outlook
My team is relatively new to using one drive. We are looking to migrate our files over to OneDrive to be able to collaboratively work on files however we cant seem to share one drive files directly from an outlook email e.g. via attach file. For addiitonal context our files are housed in an ms teams 'Files' section which I have then synced to my computer so these can be accessed through file explorer. However when I try to attach a file from an outlook email and choose a file in one of these synced folders it just downloads and attaches as a local file. I am aware you can use the 'browse web locations' under the attach files drop down however I then have to manually navigate through all the subfolders until I get to the target documents' location. Ideally I want to be able to pin onedrive folders to my quick access that I can use to reach the onedrive files and not download them as local files to attach. Any tips on sharing OneDrive files directly from outlook would be great.
