Can't share files (apart from Powerpoint) during Teams meeting on desktop app

I have some issues sharing files on Teams. I have previously been able to share files and suddenly it stopped working.

If I try to upload the files to the meeting, it loads for a moment and then the meeting continues with no sign of the file.

If I have the files I want to share open on my desktop, they are not listed under the headline "Windows".

If I try to open them through Onedrive, the files does not appear as an option - I can only chose PDFs.

I'm using the desktop app on Windows. I have tried logging out, reinstalling the app, restarting the computer.

    @Mia ,

    To determine if this is an account side problem, please try it in Teams web client (https://teams.microsoft.com).

    If no luck, check if other users have the same problem. If have, confirm with your IT admin if he disables some content sharing permissions in Microsoft Teams admin center.
