How to change download destination in "New Outlook" (May 2023)

Anonymous

I recently switched over to try the "New Outlook". In the older layout version of Outlook, when downloading an attachment I had multiple options on how that attachment could be saved to my computer. The main option I utilized was simply " Save As". In the "New Outlook" version, that option is no longer there. Is there a way to customize the options you see when downloading an attachment? Here are the options it gives:

  • Preview

-Edit in Browser

-Edit in Excel desktop app (it was an excel file in this case)

-Save to OneDrive

-Download

The old options would have:

-Preview

-Open

-Quick Print

-Save As

Save All Attachments

-Upload

-Remove Attachment

-Copy

-Select All

Really looking for the "Save As" option so I can navigate to the final destination folder.

Thanks.

    Thanks for the detailed description Hiroyuki.
    However, that doesn't work for me (and presumably for the thousands of others carping here about the lost feature)...running the desktop app on either Win10 or Win11 PC.
    Perhaps you have a different setup?

    1. Open the folder where you want to save the file in Explorer.
    2. Drag the attachment file from Outlook to Explorer.

    That's all.

    (For Dennis)

    1. Click windows start button
    2. Enter text "File Explorer." (yellow folder icon)
    3. Click enter
    4. open the folder where you want to save the file in Explorer.
    5. go to New Outlook application
    6. Open email that has attachment file you want to save.
    7. Drag the file icon in the mail (holding down the left mouse button)
    8. Move it to the file explorer
    9. Release your finger from the mouse while over the folder you want to move to.

    DONE!

    Is there honestly still no solution? What makes this so complicated? can anyone explain?

    I have in each mail always files to send and to save on my local folders. This is totally inefficient. I try to stick to the old one as long as possible.
