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:
-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.

I want to be able to simply OPEN a download to review and/or print it and then determine if i want to save it to my computer. It sounds like a simple feature that has been around for ages, yet is not available on this new version. Make it happen please!
Thanks for posting about this guys 🙏.
When I open new Outlook now, the Download option appears in the attachment drop-down, and it defaults to the Desktop location. So that is progress (provided we ignore the fact that this feature went live a few months ago, then mysteriously disappeared)...
However, until attachment drag-and-drop is restored, I still consider this a work-around for a half-finished attachment handling feature set.
I click the dropdown on the attachment in the email and it pops up the save as box. Also works from the Preview screen now. Maybe I'm a beta tester and don't know it. Hope it comes back for you soon as well.
I don't have it yet (maybe soon?).
I still have these options -
Unfortunately, clicking Copy does NOT result in anything being available to paste when I go to my folder.
But we're getting closer!!!
Drag and drop (my favorite way of saving attachments) doesn't work at all.
Yup, D-n-D is still by far the fastest way to handle attachments, and it's why I'm still stuck on the old Outlook ;-)
