"use the link or cancel the attachment"

The criteria where you would want to "cancel the attachment" here, is when a link would have been inserted in it's stead.

I'm not upset. I am utterly bewildered at how a (presumably) functional adult in 2024 doesn't understand basic email or how cloud drives work.

In looking back I realize that you're one of those people who confuse emphasis with anger. I can't really help you there. Out of curiosity, are you the type of person that reads a sentence with a period at the end as aggressive in a text message?

You say something like:
"I think we should do x"

Person replies as:
"Ok that should be fine."

Do you read the response as aggressive (active or passive)?

The root issue is that you cannot understand how replacing an attachment that is too large with a link to that file that the recipient can then click, is a fairly elegant way to avoid issues for IT.

If that were the case, it would confuse users. It would be flooded with tickets about the weird notification that they got and didn't read and how they can't attach files anymore.

"Cancel the link attachment"???

Fucking press backspace! Jesus Christ, did you just get your first computer ever? I'm getting the picture that critical thinking isn't really your forte.

Nope, I just deal with OneDrive support constantly and I can say definitively that it's pretty decent at what it does, and if the links you are getting or sending are not working, it is your fault.

If you want to bitch about something substantive, how about bitching about how 365 has like 20 admin panels that are opaque about what they are and what they do, terrible menu layouts in those menus, etc.

That stuff is a very real problem.

Some boomer who can't figure out how cloud drives work is not a real issue.

If the links don't work, that is a "you" problem.

No, it only does it when it is too big. And that is very convenient rather than it trying to send your message and then giving you a failure notice. Why are you bitching about features that actively make your life easier?

There is a lot to bitch at M$ about, but this is not one of them.

"basic" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

I recommend a Plex server. People here will yell jellyfin all day long but while it is good, there is shit that will make you tear your hair out. Plex will literally "just work".

If your TV is a smart TV, you can install the Plex app and from that point on its mostly set and forget.

You don't have to pirate Windows anymore. Just go to Google and search for download Windows ISO. The first result will be Microsoft site and you can download it directly from Microsoft.

You don't need a license key to install it either. Just go ahead and install it and it will have a watermark that it's not licensed in the bottom right corner. Microsoft doesn't really care anymore. Microsoft makes its money from business and enterprise customers. Home users are a drop in the bucket.
