This could go either way but since the source system is Sharepoint I will start here. I have a WebDav connection to multiple libraries via the Quick Access menu (Windows 10) in my SP tenant. I am on Outlook 2016. When I try to attach a file to any WebDav connection that is a regular document library the "Insert File" popup shows a Sharepoint reprentation of the library folders meaning you can only choose one file at a time. When I try to attach a file to any WebDav connection that is a picture library the "Insert File" popup shows a Windows Explorer reprentation of the library folders meaning you can choose multiple files.
A) Why is there a difference
B) Anyone know a way to have the regular DocLib allow multiple file uploads.
C) When the heck is Microsoft going to figure out real integration between Outlook and SPO 365?

- If the files are in a document library - why are you attaching them and not sharing them?
Are you aware of the "cloud attachments" functionality in Outlook?
To your last point about integration between Outlook and SPO - this is exactly what it does. In Outlook I can browse anywhere I want in SharePoint and select the files which will share them with the recipient.
