How to attach office document in Web Whatsapp using Microsoft Surface Go

[Windows Central Question]

Somehow I can't attach office document such as Word, Excel or Power Point in Web WhatsApp using Surface Go. I tried to install Chrome or Firefox browser (out of S-Mode), but no luck.

The alternative way is to transfer the file to my phone via Bluetooth then send it through android WhatsApp apps, but this alternative is not practical.

Please advise.

You can try it as a zip file, as @TechFreak1 said. Out of interest though, if you send the MSI file in the screenshot to the recipient, can then download it on their end and it can be opened up in the respective app for the proper file type?
