Missing DragnDrop of attachments from new Outlook to browsers (SharePoint) – Please bring it back!
A Microsoft moderator on Q&A wrote that drag and drop from new Outlook into SharePoint is a known limitation. Power Automate can save attachments to a SharePoint library automatically. Classic Outlook still has drag and drop, and Microsoft says it will support classic until at least 2029.
Do you need only the attachments in the folder, or the whole email too?
The issue is dragging the attachment to a browser. For example a client emails me a document that I need to save to our booking system which is a browser app. Before, using 2 screens I simply drag the attachment into the "upload" box on my booking system. Quick, easy, efficient.
Now I have to click save as, then save to my downloads folder, then click upload in my booking system and select the file and upload. Clunky, time consuming (I have to do this multiple times daily) and inefficient.
Power Automate wouldn't fix that solution unfortunately.
