Hi,
I have a KiCAd project which while zipped works perfectly with OSF Park to generate a board; 8 files are compressed.
Trying the same compressed file with PCBS.IO, I received an error message saying the the Board outline file is missing.
However this file is well present (Cuts.gbr).
Any Idea about this issue?

Not a kicad problem…
Ask the manufacturer what files it wants & rename accordingly.
Read the web page https://pcbs.io/#file_requirements
Make note of the fine detail! The outline file should be called "boardname.cuts.gbr"
I’m not really a fan of multiple dots in filenames, too confusing.
The file type is correct and is one of the accepted ones of PCBS.IO, I did renamed it with several other possible types without success. Even simplified the files to be G.x.gbr (typically G.cuts.gbr) doesn’t work.
However the site seems only accept Eagle files, is it possible that there is a difference between the KiCad file and the Eagle one regarding the board? .

Worked fine when I tried it. I used a “.gko” extension. Maybe it is your plot settings, make sure to uncheck extended attributes.
OK thanks for your help.
I had two issues with PCBS.IO. while plotting Gerber files from KiCAD
With this configuration (Margin enabled and no Edge Cuts) always works
But if Edge cuts is disabled, it doesn’t work anymore with OSH Park.
So the final Plot configuration that works for me shall uses both Edge cuts and Margin and look like :
