Automatically upload "too large" email attachments to onedrive/sharepoint with public link
If i drag a 50mb file to an email, outlook.exe says "no" and tells me to use some upload site.
If i do the same thing at gmail.com, instead of rejecting the file, it uploads it to google-drive and automatically adds a url to the email.
Outlook should do the same with onedrive or sharepoint

- Hi!
There is a uservoice open for this here
https://outlook.uservoice.com/forums/322590-outlook-2016-for-windows/suggestions/35058775-large-file
Would recommend you vote on it and get others to do so as it’s a great idea. I would like to see this too.
Hope that answers your question!

Thanks ChrisHoardMVP but thats outdated outlook 2016 and this is for outlook 365
- Actually Outlook have this too, but it’s not working if the file is too big as you say!
If you add a file from ex Onedrive it will ask you to attach it as a onedrive link and also an option to attach as a copy!
If you attach a local file you can then click upload and choose a site or your Onedrive and it will automatically attach it as a link!
It would be great if it did this automatically if the filesize exceeds the limit!
Please make a request for this on the outlook uservoice:

Adamadam deltinger Its odd that the uservoice link doesn't have an option for outlook.exe 365, only outdate 2016 and outlook.com
- I’d say they probably prioritized something else than updating the versions! I’m pretty sure it’s active!
Hi adam deltinger,
For the local option you said "If you attach a local file you can then click upload and choose a site or your Onedrive and it will automatically attach it as a link!"
Where do i click "upload" in outlook.exe when i drag and drop a file?
- If the file is within the limit, it will add itself as an attachment! Right click it and click upload! But as you say, not working when it exceeds the limit
