kdub1985 There is a change in Drag and Drop capabilities in the New Outlook.  I also, switched the "Try new Outlook" toggle.  After it did the new install, and migration ... it basically looks and feels like the Web Outlook.

 

I ALWAYS drag file attachments that people sent me in email ... into an appropriate SP / One drive folder, and then send people back the link to the shared document.  However, that Drag and Drop FROM New Outlook email attachments ... no longer works.

 

Its important enough of a feature, that I had to Toggle back to the original outlook.

 

This now forces Outlook to work like Gmail (which drives me crazy).  Save to file to the default shared location, then I have to go back out, find the file ... and then move it.  UGH.  Microsoft, we need to do better then Gmail.

 

Any response from MS on this thread?

Thanks,

Lowell

    I concur, the right click and drag to hyperlink workflow that is missing is a huge issue for me as I am sure it is for a lot of people. Unless someone can confirm that sending via the sharepoint/onedrive option is doing the same thing without creating a copy of the file then it is ok. But I doubt that is the case. It is probably creating a duplicate.
