Unable to attach cloud documents using SharePoint Online in Outlook 2016
Hello, I would like to attach a document saved in a Document library on a SharePoint Online site. If I use Attach File>Browse Web Locations>Sites>Recent Folders and select a folder it then launch...
Which version of Outlook are you using? The steps you detailed above should open the "Insert File" dialog, not File explorer.
Thank you, Vasil. You are correct. It does open it the Insert File dialog, but pointing to 'My Documents' instead of the selected path. Outlook 2016 version 1706 (Build 8229.2103)
I'm on FR for deferrec, version 1705 (8201.2158) and it works as expected for me. Perhaps a regression introduced in your version?
Were you ever able to solve this? We have the same issues. Outlook 2016 v 1708. SharePoint online. Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
This seems to be working now with most folders under 'Recent' but there is one that is defaulting to My Documents. I'm wondering if it has to do with it being synced via OneDrive.
