    I was able to solve my problem!

    The student was not listed as having permissions in the Student Work Folder in SharePoint. Once I added him and granted the correct permissions in both the Submitted and Working Files folders it looks like everything is working correctly. I was able to open files and attach work in his Teams Assignments.

    Here is where I found the steps that got me on the correct path:

    We have a student that is a member of 6 teams. One of his teams will not allow him to view or attach resources in assignments. He is not having issues with any of the other 5 Teams. No other students in this Team are having this issue. I have removed him from the Team and added him back, but it did not resolve. I have tried different devices and browsers. It is not an issue with the file.

    I have the same issue here. I use teams app in windows pc. I join an online international class, but there are only 2 or 3 people from dofferent country who cannot uploading our assignment. Our trouble is same: our internet connection is okay, our file also fine, but the teams always stated "There is an error with your file".

    I have tried reconnect my internet for several times, rename my doc files, even convert it into pdf, but nothing work though

    Fyi i have uploaded 2 assignments before this error happen, and those 2 assignments also has the same trouble but then it fix by itself just a few minutes after. But my last assignment still cannot be uploaded for a long time until past the due date.. It is so annoying and waste our times. I spend an hour to try to fix this problem. At last, I only uploaded a onedrive link. But still it is unefficient for me because i need to upload to onedrive first..

    Please Microsoft, fix this problem.

    And by the way it is not the only problem we face in teams. Previously, we (all the student)  cannot open the assignment file at all. And we don't know why it fix by itself..
