Modern Library feedback - drag and drop into email

Brass Contributor

One of the reasons my users asked to revert to Classic View was that the Modern Experience removed the ability to drag and drop files from SharePoint into an email for external users.  Will this functionality be reinstated?

Recent Outlook 2016 builds have natively the feature to attach SharePoint files to email messages.

Have you tried it?

If your user base does not have Outlook 2016 and you are keen to use the Modern view then you may want to look at 3rd party tools. There are tools (e.g. https://directory.collab365.community/office365-sharepoint/best-records-management-solutions-for-sha...) where a user can attach SharePoint documents to an email that work in both classic and modern view. For example, my company has developed a SharePoint add-in with this capability but there are others as well (see above link). Paul | SLIM Applications
