An Outlook recipient receives a link when you expected a file attachment

Check whether Outlook attached a cloud link or a separate file copy. These delivery methods have different permission and update behavior.

By RJ Computers

Quick answer

Check whether Outlook attached a cloud link or a separate file copy. These delivery methods have different permission and update behavior.

Understand the issue

Decide whether recipients should collaborate on the live file or receive a fixed snapshot. A cloud link can require account access, while an attached copy can become outdated when the original changes. Confirm what the recipient actually needs.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Inspect the attachment option before sending.
  2. Choose an appropriate file copy or cloud link.
  3. Review link permissions or the copied file's version and contents.

Frequently asked questions

Will edits to my original file automatically update an attachment already sent?

A traditional attached copy is a snapshot; a live shared link behaves differently.

What should I record before requesting help?

Record the full model, exact error or symptom, recent changes and what you already tried. Explain whether important files have a separate backup.

Conclusion
