Enable Outlook to attach files from Sharepoint Online and OneDrive.
The 2016 versions of Word/Excel/PowerPoint natively allow you to save files directly to Sharepoint Online and OneDrive, yet Outlook offers no option to attach one of those files into an outgoing email. If Microsoft truly believes in "cloud-first" one would think they'd integrate Outlook with their own cloud services.

Why is this even a vote on feature? It should have been baked in from the start!

This feature, which part of the Windows Outlook client, is a fantastic time saver / workflow streamliner. I for one feel a little disillusioned each time I stumble across these little discrepancies. Please add my +1 for a "Recent Items" dropdown on the attach file icon.

I also believe it's not possible. They should really make this option available.

@Anonymous, it's 100% possible to attach files from OneDrive, but I want to know how to attach files from SharePoint Online, I think that's not possible at this moment.........

It is possible to attach files from the Mac or from the normal OneDrive. However, even though I use the Outlook for Mac on my professional Office 365 account, it is not possible to access the files that I have on my professional OneDrive account. It makes my Mac and Outlook a less valuable work tool, when working from home.

Agree with comments - the windows version of this feature is fantastic and the ability to add a OneDrive (or possibly iCloud) shortcut also would be amazing.

You actually can't do this on the PC version of Outlook either. So it's not MS trying to force users onto their operating system. It's just a **** roll out of an online solution.

This needs to happen. Otherwise Sharepoint on my mac is not a viable option.
