Hi Mike Tilson,

 

Thanks for reporting this here. You are correct that setting the default link to "direct" should cause the modern/cloud attachment to default to "Recipients can edit". Let me look into this and see if we can figure out what's going on. Thanks!

    StephenRice Did you get any response from Outlook team on this?

    StephenRice any updates on this? We are seeing this issue as well. Ours started showing up after we changed the default at the tenant level to be 'Specific People' instead of 'People in <company name>'.

     

    This is making all of our users think modern attachments are broken, and they are reverting to attaching files the old way which is very much not what we want!

      Hi David Rosenthal,

       

      We are still investigating internally with the Outlook team. Thanks,

        StephenRice this issue has appeared for us today. 

         

        Office 365 E5 customer with Office 365 ProPlus clients installed (v 1710 - Build 8625.2139).

         

        PowerPoint presentation was being attached to an email message using 'Attach File > Recent Items' menu in the 'Include' ribbon.

         

        Also received failed upload errors from documents saved in SharePoint Online Office 365 groups.

    This issue still exists. I have updated to v 1710 (Build 8625.2127) and now I don't even have the option in Outlook to share with the organization although that option still exists and functions correctly in OWA.

     

     

    I took a newly imaged Surface laptop and installed Office software directly from Office 365 with version 1710 (8625.2121).  I can reproduce the error on the fresh imaged PC with that Office version on a different tenant than our production tenant.
     
    When I first installed Office on this machine it had the deferred bits and the modern attachments worked fine but broke after the update to the latest bits.
