Uploading/attaching files to Outlook

I am unable to upload/attach documents from my MacBook Pro and iCloud to Outlook or other websites. I'm still using Mojave. This issue just started a couple of weeks ago. Tried to research some setting for permission but can't find anything specific. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!

Apple Mail PDF attachment permissions issue One of the users in my company has encountered an annoying issue in Outlook (but there are similar questions related to macmail here so I guess this is a general issue). I've no idea how to fix. Whenever I attempt to open a PDF attachment, I receive an error message saying The file "<filename>.PDF" couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info." In order to open the attachment, I have to save it to a folder first, which is a pain in the butt. I've taken a look in System Prefs and Prefs in Mail, but I cannot for the life of me find where to change this setting. Does anybody have any suggestions? N.B. The solution is not to save the pdf first, it should work just clicking on the pdf in the mail. The user does not have any issues with other attachements.

Getting Permissions problems on Mail Attachments, Books and documents in other applications Since the last Big Sur security update (or at least I think that is when the problem started), I've had a host of problems with accessing documents from various applications. For example, I can no longer open attachments directly from Mail, although I can save the attachment and then open it. Some books I can no longer open (I get a message about permissions error and told to view the information in Finder). Similarly, in some other applications that include attachments or documents (e.g. Tap Forms 5) I find I can no longer directly open the document, but I can save out the document to open it. This is very inconvenient and I don't understand what has happened. This applies both on my MacBook Pro which is relatively old and cannot be updated beyond Big Sur and my iMac (last Intel version) which I could update but I've kept on Big Sur to be consistent with my MBP. As far as I can tell by looking at the documents in the Finder, the permissions are all correct.
