Save/attach from emails in MS Outlook 2016 to SharePoint site
Hi there
Appreciate this has been discussed before, but are there any updates planned to the interaction between Outlook and SharePoint?
We're rolling out SharePoint as a file store for o...
- This is now possible using the Outlook Desktop and modern browsers - take a look: https://jonasbjerke.wordpress.com/2019/09/06/you-can-now-drag-e-mails-from-outlook-directly-to-sharepoint/
On my system , Windows 10 and Outlook 2016 , I have the new sync client installed.
Assuming that I have the site/library that I wish to save the attachment to already synched , then I can select the attachment , right click, save as and then select the library that has been synched in the client or else to my OD4B location. I think this is probably the easiest way to do it OOTB on my system.
Another option is to forward the email to a channel in MS Teams. This will save the attachment into a folder within the "documents" library associated with the Team. i'm not so hot on this option as you need to go into Teams (afaik) and copy the email address associated with the channel first.
I think the ability to add the attachment (cloudy) is quite nice.. though tbh I normally am in SharePoint already when I want to share a document so I'm typically using the system generated email when sharing internally. HTH

When I attempt to save an Outlook attachment directly to SPO, with a list already connected to Outlook, it tells me I don't have permission. I am the Owner and Admin for the whole site. ??
