We have this shit at work, they make it incredibly hard to get a fucking attachment as a real attachment instead of a link to their cloud

Specially annoying since my organization is "geofence" but we work with people all over the world... So MS insists on switching attachments to links nobody can open outside my country

Huh? Outlook gives you two clear options when attaching a document. One is to attach as a copy, and one is to share it.

Yes but If you chose the full attachment, half the time I just get the link

This is because MS will force it if they think the attachment is an odd extension or too big or whatever

I think this it not necessarily a bad thing. Worked in an office where they produce GB of CAD files. Sending it as attachment would fail for most clients because of their mailbox size, and receiving it also sucks because it would clog the local outlook inbox file, and everything would crawl to a halt when you open Outlook in the morning.
