How do copy an email attachment from O365 Group email to O365 Groups Files?

Bryan Kuester is the purpose of storing everything in the SharePoint automatically to view everything in one place or be able to co-author document by default?

We are optimizing the experience where user is able to see all their content (attachment + sharepoint files) in one view and be able to get to them quickly regardless of how they are shared. This is surfacing in Outlook web trough the "Files" experience in Groups and will show in other places too.

We are also optimizing the experience where users can pick a file or save a file to sharepoint directly before sharing on email. We want to minimize the number of steps to do that and you will see that in the attach experience of Outlool desktop and Outlook web both. This minimizes the version problem that happens with attachments floating in email.

If we do the automatic upload of attachment to SharePoint, we don't want to have different copy floating in email (attach) and another one in SharePoint. It will fragment the document and user has to notify others that attachment is no longer the version of truth. All this makes the scenario a bit more complicated from user perspective and not something that user may want to do every single time automatically, which is why in first iteration we make it easy to simply save an attachment to group sharepoint files manually so user can make that decisions.

File collaboration is an critical part of Groups experience and we look for your feedback and usage as we continue to evolve. - Thanks, Amit
