    I found the solution, at least on my Galaxy S8.

    I have two different email apps, one for Outlook and one for Yahoo. The Yahoo one is the default email app that comes with the phone and you assign email addresses to it. From my Gallery, I select all the images I want and then share them to the Yahoo email app which will give me an option to send it to any email I want. I type my Outlook email and it will send all my pictures as easily drag and droppable attachments in my Outlook.

    It's dumb that a multi-billion dollar company can't just fix their stupid app but that's how you get around this frustrating issue.

    Hi Craig,

    Based on the description that you provided, this is how attaching images or files works in Outlook for Android. However, we would like to hear from you. We encourage you to post your request on UserVoice, under the appropriate category, or vote and add your comments to similar requests. We’re listening and we really appreciate your feedback.

    Regards.

    Seriously!!! now I can't forward myself several pictures and then "save attachments in PC Outlook, I have to manually right click each one to save as picture.   This is useless!   So now I have to use gmail to email to my outlook work account. :(

    Temporary solution to your problem, but you can choose to share the pictures with messages instead of outlook and then send them to your email with SMS.

    Hope this helps!
