OneDrive Upload and Share Permissions
Hello...I have a user using OWA (University - Microsoft 365 A5 license) who is experiencing a new scenario/error msg., when initiating the "upload and share" option to share a locally stored file as an email attachment (gets uploaded by default to their OneDrive Attachments folder) when sending OWA email messages to colleagues.
The email will send with the attachment icon/link, but recipients don't have access to it and have to choose the "request access" option, where then the user/sender can approve the request for access.
The error msg., is "you don't have permission to give others access to file X" and the filename that is uploaded has red text (normally it is blue).
The users has tested this scenario on multiple computers w/ multiple browsers, and changed the upload OneDrive folder location, with the same result. I can initiate the same scenario on the same computers, browsers, and files, while signed onto my OWA account w/ out issue.
The user's Mailbox has a small quota size and their OneDrive account does as well.
This started about two weeks ago, though as far as I know, no University Enterprise changes were made to the users account. Not sure what to look at for a solution so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
The user claims they were also using iCloud backup in the folder/files location where they were trying to "upload and share" via the OneDrive/O365 ecosystem, and changing location has resolved the issue. So not a OneDrive issue after all....Thanks!

Is the intended recipient external? And if so, what are the external sharing settings on the user's OneDrive?
Hi...no, they are internal.
What happens if you right-click and select the link settings, which options are available there? Also, does it make a difference if they upload/attach the file after all the recipients have been entered vs when the address fields are empty?
In general, I would check the sharing/link settings for the user
Get-SPOSite blabla | select *sharing*,*link*
