Outlook: Attachments - select folder to download

Problem: In the "new Outlook experience" it is only possible to store an email attachment either via the "download" -option - that is, saving the file to Windows' download -foler - or to "save in OneDrive".

 

Solution: Re-introduce the option to individually select where to store email attachments as in regular Outlook.  It is just an unnecessary extra step to go via the download-folder.  And why not add support for storing to Microsoft Sharepoint (which we use at my company)?

    Agreed! Mind-boggling that this feature no longer appears to be available.

    Yes this is very annoying for our users too which have been migrated to 365.

    A process that took a single step now takes four.

    Old method in Outlook full Desktop app with network shares for storage: - In email, Save As on attachment, browse to network folder, name file, click save. 

    New method in new Outlook (or OWA) with SharePoint for storage: - Save attachment to OneDrive, open OneDrive in browser and locate file in attachment folder, move file to SharePoint folder, then rename file.

     

    Need to be able to Save to SharePoint direct from Outlook, browse to correct folder in SharePoint and name the file in one process.
