Why is it so hard to save a file from Outlook to SharePoint?
So Why I agree there should be a SharePoint save inside of Outlook and I'm sure their will be soon since we've been seeing much more of that integration lately. In the meantime there is a free add-in you can download right form the Outlook Store that works great for moving files into SharePoint. OnePlaceMail. Give it a whirl, works via web mail since it's in the store and uses new Web add-in tech, so it's in client and web after you install.
Note however you can open the attachment and then go to Save As and from in there you can save direct to SharePoint once you have it added as a place. I presume if you had your team sites loaded in One Drive for Business sync tool you might be able to save to SharePoint by saving into that folder.
"Even better would be to be able to save multiple attachments up to SharePoint in one swoop. "
Yass I would love that too!
"Note however you can open the attachment and then go to Save As and from in there you can save direct to SharePoint once you have it added as a place."
This is still a cumbersome work-around, especially for non-technical users. I just don't get why Microsoft bothers with adding all these fancy webparts to SharePoint, while such a basic feature still isn't working.- Well, the fact here is that Microsoft does not provide this feature so you have to do it manually or use a third party tool
