Mac Book Air freezes when attaching any files

Every time I try to upload a file to a website, access a file in MS Office, or attach a file in an email my Mac Book Air freezes.

The window pops up to upload or attach the file but it will not allow me to select a file or cancel the action. The window does not have the red, yellow, and green button to close, minimize or enlarge the window.

This just started on Sunday March 28, 2021.

Hey there, Punknik!


It sounds like you're having some difficulty with using files on your MacBook Air. We can help.


Have you checked to make sure you have enough storage space available? Many times when your storage is low, you may notice some unexpected behavior when manipulating files. You can check out How to free up storage space on your Mac for ways to increase your available storage space and see if that helps resolve the issue you're running into.


Give those steps a try, and let's see how it goes.


Take care!
