Missing DragnDrop of attachments from new Outlook to browsers (SharePoint) – Please bring it back!
The new Outlook no longer supports direct drag & drop of email attachments into browser-based apps like SharePoint or OneDrive. In the classic Outlook, this worked seamlessly, but now we have to go through the desktop as a workaround – an unnecessary extra step that significantly slows down our workflow.
Please restore this essential feature! Many businesses and power users rely on drag & drop for efficient work, and this limitation is a major downgrade.

Yes, please, restore this simple feature. It's odd that they took away something so intuitive and available as long as I've used Outlook. To add salt to the wound, they now require dragging of other files into the body of the email to make it an attachment. Depending on the file type (such as an image), it actually pastes it into the body instead of being an attachment. I would love to have it restored to the original method of dragging files to be attached into the header of the composition above the formatting ribbon as before.
Fully agree - Hope this feature will return soon.
I was pretty exicted about the new Outlook version as the inclusion of the ToDo list seems good but without drag&drop of files, I rather skip this and use the old Outlook version.
Drag & Drop is so essential for me.
So, "hey Microsoft! - if you read this: please, please, please....get this feature also working for the new outlook version and make your users happy. Thanks.
Totally agree, the loss of drag & drop from the new Outlook to browsers like SharePoint is a big productivity hit. It was a seamless part of many workflows, and having to use desktop workarounds slows things down. Hoping Microsoft brings this essential feature back soon!
Agree, please restore this essential feature
Not to mention the increased security risk this introduces, having to save files to the desktop, and then upload them manually.
Previously I could dragndrop these files, without contributing to the proliferation of data throughout the environment, now I'm forced to duplicate files from Outlook, to my desktop, and now to SharePoint.
absolute disgusting that they removed drag and drop feature and week number not visible on calendar at home page on outlook
