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.

    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!

    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.
