Windows 10: Unable to Send a Copy of Microsoft Files with the new Sharing File Experience Update

Microsoft recently updated / rolled out it's file sharing experience. Prior to this update, I was able to easily share copies of Microsoft files PPT, Word, Excel directly from SharePoint. Now, I no longer have this option and it's extremely inconvenient. Is there a workaround for this, or a setting we can enable in the back end to bring this feature back? Please advise!

You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

Issue was the above, so thanks temp02.
