    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.

    Hi Andree,

    I don't understand why this "feature" has been put in the outlook app. For me, it has rendered the app completely useless - people are unable to retrieve my attempted-attachments which are embedded against my will. PLEASE FIX!!!! (and let me know when you do because until then I'm switching email apps).

    No one is listening at Microsoft...it's a problem with Outlook...all other platforms attach a pix as a file but Outlook embeds inline. It's crazy. I just don't understand why this can't be fixed now.

    I don't think this is a Microsoft issue. Samsung is Tweaking Android a little for this to happen.

    So for now I am using the Samsung Mail app POP/IMAP/365 work great, attachments work fine as well.

    Work around is using Samsungs Mail App

    This was getting SO frustrating, but I just added my Outlook email on Gmail through the Exchange tab, and now I can finally send work photos from the field as actual attachments.
