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!

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.
