this is what ai spit out— see if it is applicable

[ To attach a OneDrive file to a Gmail message on your iPhone, open the OneDrive app, find the file, tap "Share", then select "Share to Gmail" to generate a link to the file within a new Gmail message. If you want to send the file as a traditional attachment that doesn't require a link, you must first copy the file from OneDrive into your iPhone's local storage using the Files app and then attach it directly to the Gmail message ]

In this case, AI did a decent job. While I use Yahoo mail, the procedure they suggested works. I open the One Drive App. Look for the file. Tap the file and then the share button (box with an up arrow), then choose mail, which in my case opens my Yahoo mail, select a sender and send. It gives a link to the file on my One Drive for that file only. If I want, I can save the file to the Files App by opening One Drive > Files and to the right of on the file are three dots, which when tapped gives you the option to download the file. Once downloaded, it's always available in the Files App to send as a direct attachment.

That sounds like a good question for Microsoft. Do you have the OneDrive app on your iPhone, and are you logged in to it?

You're welcome.
