Save attachments from Outlook to OneDrive for Business - folder selection
If I delete the subfolder then attempt to save an attachment it creates the 'Email attachments' folder in the root of ODfB and saves the file to the it. Which is what I'd expect.
A bit of an annoyance but at least we have a workaround now.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi I'm still having this issue. A quick explanation is as follows:
1. If I "save an attachment to Onedrive" in Outlook.exe, the program (Outlook Microsoft 365) then my attachments are saved in the root directory of my Onedrive account.
2. If I "save an attachment to Onedrive" in Outlook.com, the website (outlook.office.com) then my attachments are saved in a subfolder 'Email attachments' on the same Onedrive account.
However, both programs do link to the same file in a correct way. So if I save it online, and go check my mail in Outlook on my pc (or vice-versa), it does show the 'Saved' icon next to the attachment in both ways and I can access the attachment online in both 'programs' alternately, the only difference is in the link that is linking to the online file:
When uploaded in Outlook.exe, the link ends in \Documents (%2FDocuments to be correct) however when uploaded in Outlook.com, the link ends in \Documents\Email Attachments (%2FDocuments%2FEmail%20Attachments to be correct)
Looking to other people (in the same domain and with a very similar address and setup) I'm the only one who is experiencing this problem. Other people's attachments are always saved to the 'Email Attachments' subfolder in Onedrive, no matter if they do it online or in Outlook on their pc, which seems most logical to me too.
So my 'solution' for now is to only upload my files online by outlook.com however this is a bit annoying me as I almost exclusively use the Outlook Office 365 program on my pc.
Isn't there some parameter in the register to configure this default path where the file should be uploaded to?
