Sharing options in extensions

Is the Mail.app your default email reader? If not, Mail may not be available for sharing.

You may want to check the Mail > Preferences > General.

I have "Default Email Reader" set to "Mail.app", and I have no problems to share documents directly from Preview by Mail.

The "Add People " Sharing option is used for files on iCloud Drive. As you probably know, you can share documents on iCloud Drive and add people to collaborate on a document.

• Select a document on iCloud Drive in the Finder. Then ctrl-click it to open the Sharing options, and you can invite people to work together on your Keynote presentation or similar.

When I try to use "Add People" for a document in Preview, and this document is not on iCloud Drive, I am getting this error message: "you can only add People to documents in iCloud":

Usually, items are missing from the application share menus because the System Launch Services database needs rebuilding. Apple has an article about how this is achieved. You may need to reboot your Mac afterward.

I Photos the usual reason for missing items in the Share menu is, that too many items have been selected for sharing at once. Each sharing extension has its own limit for the number of items it can share at once. As we select more and more photos for sharing, we can watch more and more sharing options vanish from the Share menu.

They are grayed out because they are checked and added to the Share menu by default. The only item I'm not familiar with is Add People. Don't know how that is used in any of the Share menus.

If you find out what or where the Add People is used post back. I'd like to know.

Thank you. I learn something new here every day.

Me too 😀

You're welcome 😊
