Attachments from OneDrive in an Outlook email
The easiest way will be to directly open the OneDrive and there search for those 49 photos that can not be shared via Outlook, and there marks how to share.
Whether read-only or only to specific people and so is the safest! Directly from onedrive is best managed immediately before sending = sharing this folder ! Try doing this, write how it works, but it should be good luck Andrew.
Thank you for trying to assist, but despite having success uploading numerous files from OneDrive to an email... I tried to follow your instructions, and tried every option I thought was possible, and continued to get the "cannot upload" message. I finally had to give up, and when I contacted the printing company they suggested using mailbigfile.com When I opened this link, by right clicking on the file I wanted to upload, and chose the option "send to...", I was able to create a zip file that was uploaded to mailbigfile and sent to my printer... with no problem. I saved myself further frustration trying to make OneDrive attachments work. Still can't figure out what I was doing wrong... maybe next time...

Hello, this is a known problem of people trying to upload lot of files from inside Outlook to OneDrive.
Another problem is the fact the files are all uploaded in the same root folder of your OneDrive folder without any way to create a folder for it.You can try Attach2cloud product, it allows to upload the files in OneDrive through Outlook. With Attach2Cloud you can do whatever you want, by example select the target folder for each attachment. If you want you can compress in one zip container the folder with your pictures in order to facilitate the access of your recipients to the photos.
You can choose file by file the permissions you want to use and everything will be smoothly uploaded and shared when you send your email.
I let you ask a fully functional evaluation of Attach2Cloud and see how you can unleash the power of OneDrive in Outlook.
