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.

Hi Gina - I agree - this would be great - to have an option - right click on the attachment and save to SharePoint team site and you pick without having to open the file - much like you can upload to one drive. Even better would be to be able to save multiple attachments up to SharePoint in one swoop.
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.

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
