when trying to send a file from an app the phone will try and use nfc instead of email

[AC Question]

galaxy s7, android version 7.0, when trying to send a file from an app, the phone will try and use nfc instead of email.
i cant get it to email any files it only offers me the options of save to local folder, android beam or samsung print service plugin.

what did i switch on or goof up to get it like this?
any help will be greatly appreciated.

You should save the file first so it send from the device folders and not from some app or site..
