Getting Sharepoint link from Windows Explorer
Thanks for the link. I was sure I'd seen it somewhere - now does anyone know when we can expect it? Any chance it will work for Mac too?
As for OL using "attach as link", that works fine if OL already recognizes that the file is coming from OneDrive. But if the user adds the file from the local synced copy, then OL only recognizes it as a local file and doesn't offer the attach as link option. The exception seems to be:
- user first opens file in application (Word/Excel/PPT), so that Office now recognizes that the file is located in OD4B
- user selects the file from Recents in the Attach File menu in OL
If the user instead selects the locally stored file either from browsing or from drag and drop, the OL doesn't recognize it as a cloud file. It's even possible to have 2 listings of the same file in the Recents menu: the OD4B version and the local version, even though they are both the same file.
I never said it's perfect :) But at least you have the option to attach the file "as a link", instead of sending it over email.
Not sure how the OneDrive/file system improvements will relate to Mac, sorry.
