Help us test Cloud Attachments in Outlook 2016 with SharePoint Server 2016
Will this be available for our Office 365 tenant as well? (we use SharePoint Online)
Also, why not call it 'SharePOint instead of 'Sites'? I would encourage you to be consistent in your naming of the features.
Hi Gro,
This is already available for O365 tenants. If you click on File -> Office Account -> Add a Service -> Storage -> Office 365 SharePoint, you will be able to sign in to your O365 SharePoint site. You may already be signed in to it, in some cases, such as if you already signed in to Office with that account.
As for the naming, it matches what you will see for Office 365 accounts. In fact, if you follow the steps above, it will say "Sites" in the same location (under Office Account) once signed in.
I'll definitely take your point back to the team though about why the name becomes "Sites" after you are signed in. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks,
-Steven

This does not work.

When clicking on Attach file / Web Locations / Sites (name of company), I get an overview of 'Recent folders'. However, they are not my recent folders. Some of them are document libraries that I haven't accessed since June! The sites or document libraries that I actually accessed earlier today, do not appear in this overview at all.
When it comes to the 'Save (files) to' option, I miss a 'Save to SharePoint' option. We are working really hard to make our users understand the difference between OneDrive (for personal work files and ad-hoc sharing) versus SharePoint (for corporate team files for regular collaboration and sharing). Now there's only a 'Save to OneDrive' option which doesn't exactly ease the understanding of the differences - quite the opposite it blurs the boundaries between the two tools and from a UX point of view this is confusing for the end users.
