Attach file button (paperclip) disappeared from Copilot web

Hi,

Any idea why the attach file button has suddenly vanished from Copilot, Copilot (microsoft.com)? It was available yesterday. I used it to quickly summarize PDF and Word documents.

Regards,

Alex

I'm a fellow user and, like many of you, I've been eagerly awaiting the return of the Copilot document upload feature. I don't work for Microsoft, but I did inquire to the app. (It took all of 3 seconds). Here's a message that I received (from Copilot app)

**Title: Update on Copilot Document Upload Feature**

Dear Microsoft Edge Users,

We understand that the recent unavailability of the Copilot document upload feature has caused some inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience as we work towards enhancing your browsing experience.

We recognize that some of you have come to rely on this feature and may feel its absence impacts your workflow. We want to reassure you that providing high-quality, reliable tools is at the forefront of our priorities, and we are committed to restoring service as swiftly as possible.

Thank you for your continued support.

Warm regards,

I was informed it is not fully functional, so it comes and goes. Weird because there are other AI sites who can work with PDF's just fine. Microsoft could at least limit the types of files being uploaded if they don't want to deal with "every" file type.

It is quite unfair for this issue to occur for Copilot Pro users.

I'm having the same issue, the file upload paperclip icon appears intermittently. I've checked this with CoPilot in Windows 11, or in Edge, or the copilot.microsoft.com site. And I'm also a Copilot Pro user.

Did you find the solution? I am using the Copilot Pro($20), and the attach file button suddenly disappeared yesterday. When I log out the the button reappears. Is there any limitation on how many times we can upload files?
