Cannot share an attachment on Microsoft Outlook

Question

Cannot share an attachment on Microsoft Outlook

Anonymous 20

I found all of a sudden I could not share an attachment on Outlook.

What I eventually did was the following -

Hit the share icon

Hit the Outlook icon

When I put in the email address I then went to the bottom of the page and deleted 'Get Outlook for Android'. It may not be Android on whatever device you are using, could be iPad!!!

This worked for me after many days of frustration, Good Luck

Hello Anonymous,

Thank you for sharing the workaround that helped you resolve the attachment sharing issue in Outlook mobile.

Based on your description, removing the default “Get Outlook for Android” signature text from the message draft allowed the attachment to be shared successfully in your case. This may be helpful for other users who run into the same situation when sharing files through Outlook mobile.

For anyone who wants to remove that text permanently, open Outlook mobile, go to Settings > Signature, then delete or replace the default signature and save the change.

I appreciate you taking the time to post what worked for you. I hope this helps other users with the same issue.
