there is no file attached vs there is no attachment

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'There is no file attached' is commonly used when referring to a specific file that should be attached but isn't. 'There is no attachment' is more general and can refer to any type of attachment (e.g., a document, a photo, an MP3, etc.). The choice between the two depends on the context and the specificity of the attachment that is being referred to.
