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).

Great idea/solution…..thnx!

Just found a fix to the problem I was having

Outlook app not attaching photo images as attachments 

I just deleted the mobile app (I don't use it anyway) 

Log in through your android browser as if your on a PC 

Go to attachment

Photo from gallery

Documents

Then gallery again

Pic your image & attach

This should be a lot simpler

But it works

This problem started for many people in late 2017. I need to use Exchange in my work so as to keep continuity - I can't be sending replies and forwards from my other accounts.. I save my pics to DropBox now (won't use One Drive because of this issue). 

What is so incredibly frustrating with all of this is Microsofts utter silence on the matter.

The inline picture problem just started last week (mid Aug 2019); before all pix sent from Outlook were attached as jpeg. The way around it is to send from another email platform like gmail instead of Outlook. Still a pain.
