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 an...

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!

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
adam deltinger thank you! i had no idea that option was there for smaller files....
Its interesting that it still sends an attachment, but instead of the file its an html (vs url in the body) but still good.
Hope they enable this for too large files...i wonder if there is a registry edit
- It’s possible to increase the filesize up to 150 mb also
