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.

    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.

    Any update?!! it's a pain in the **** to download a file from SharePoint before attaching it to our mails...

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    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.

    FYI its now in the latest insiders fast release of Outlook for Mac

    starting to use iCloud, as this is frustrating

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

    I am a Microsoft partner and the lack of this function is hurting existing customers and stopping others moving to Office 365

    And the ability to attach the file as a shortcut too so it matches the windows version

    I can't believe it is still not an option. Access to sharepoint works like a charm in Word, Excel and PP. If it was clearly told it is microsoft's strategy to force us to use windows instead of osx, at least we could stop hoping and move on to the next issue.

    I see that is was 'planned' on march 16th 2016. My company really misses this feature. When will it be available?

  • Angie Jula commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    What is the sense in paying for 365 if it will not function on my computer. Please create this function quickly! Much <3 - angie

    Seems that this came with 15.28, but is pretty much useless implementation.
    I can only attach a link from Sharepoint.

    And even on the link there is default that recipient can edit.
    So when sending mail outside of my organisation, I still need to download file manually from Sharepoint and then attach it from local file system as there is no option to attach it as a copy from Sharepoint - only as a link :(

  • Peter commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    saving to Sharepoint libraries is definitely a must have too
