Windows 10: Troubleshoot attaching folders to emails

I have Windows 11 on a 3 year old laptop, and can no longer attach folders in gmail, outlook or yahoo mail. I can only attach items in the folder individually. I tried restarting and cleaning out unwanted emails. I also have transferred file folders onto a external hard drive because I received "storage limit reached" notices. This was causing me to have problems with adding file folders or accessing folders. I think transferring files has solved that problem but I still cannot attach folders to emails.
