Is there a way to easily share a file as an attachment rather than as a link from box without having to just download and attach?

Thanks!

I second 1522927319282 request. The ability to send the file as an attachment is still a plus in certain business environments. Not all recipients are savvy enough to work with box links.

I third this request. Many recipients in my environment will not be able to navigate a link no matter how simple it may seem. Please make sharing via attachment an option!
