Hey jthomson99, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

It sounds like you may have been updated to the latest version of the desktop app for Mac OS. Could you let us know the desktop app's exact status and version as shown in your menu bar? 

 

In the meantime, you can download the files you'd like to attach in your email from our website locally to your computer and attach them from there.

 

Keep us posted please!
