Joe McGiven Corban I'm with you on this point, we really need drag & drop in Groups for Outlook Desktop as soon as possible !

 

Ethan Li. without this feature, we will need to go with a 3rd party app, which will cost us a lot of money just for this feature ... Please keep us posted about all this !

Goodness, my client can't SHOUT loud enough for this feature in Outlook. They work 99% in the desktop client and rarely use OWA. I've got monthly (targeted) on my test VM and it's not in there either. Insider channel maybe? Come on Microsoft, we're screaming for this.

    Sure.... the Drag and Drop for Web works fine... but if you're in the Office, of course you would rather use Outlook for Windows... it's a much richer experience. Yet being on Office 365 Pro Plus Monthly Channel and Office 365 Targeted Release for Web... there is still no progress on this.

    .........what's happening Microsoft?

        What does status "Rollout out" mean on the roadmap? I've got monthly targeted on my dev VM and it's not got this feature yet as we're >Q3 now.
