Attaching - not linking - files to emails, Outlook for Mac

When drafting an email, clicking >Attach File shows 3 options:

  • Browse this Mac
  • Browse cloud locations
  • Insert hyperlink


I want to attach a file saved in a cloud location. I don't want to link to the document, I need to send a static copy that can be opened without the recipient needing access to the cloud location. Clicking through the process above, however, turns the inserted file into a link.


I've tried dragging the file from the Teams app and from the Finder app to the email draft, but the file won't attach via that method.


Please tell me how to attach a file without it turning into a link.
