Share a Document Externally via Email Attachment

If you need to share a document externally, you can do so starting in SharePoint or starting in Outlook.

From SharePoint

To share a document via Outlook as an attachment from within SharePoint, locate the document you wish to Share and open in your installed application. Once in your installed application, select Share from the menu. Once on the Sharing Menu, select the attach to Outlook option. This will open Outlook with the document attached and allow you to send via Outlook.

From Outlook

From within Outlook, you can send a file from SharePoint in the same way you would another attachment. Create a new message and select attach file, from here, you will be presented with all recent files you have interacted with including those stored in SharePoint. Select the correct file and send. This will not send a link to the file as you would internally but does allow you to share a document attachment which is a copy of the document externally.
