    Here in the Netherlands (Leiden), we are still unable to load documents to an Assigment that is based on a Forms quiz.

    The teacher has made several test assignments to make sure there was nothing wrong with the document limits; pdf and word are allowed etc..

    We've tried both the desktop and web versions of Teams to upload our assigment docs, yet we keep receiving the error that 'Upload of the file failed' (red tekst in Dutch "Uploaden van het bestand is mislukt").

    I even made sure that my docs were explicitly shared/open in order to choose them from my OneDrive.

    I have no idea why the docs are still being refused. They're not too large for the requirements, they are simple Word docs.

    Hi Jordan,

    Thanks for reaching us in community!

    For this issue, you may let the users to use URL links instead of files in the assignment attachments as a workaround.

    We'd like to know if it's a client related issue or not, you can check whether the attachments file can be upload successfully in https://teams.microsoft.com/ or not. If web-side works functioning, it should be a client related-issue. 

    Meanwhile, please kindly share us a screenshot of the entire failed page, so that we can have a better understanding for such a condition in case missing something.

    Best,

    Shawn
