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.

We shouldn't have to open the folder and drag it to where we want it to go. Just include a "save as" option. That's all.
Shouldn't have to click through several screens to be able to do it. The "save as" option should be in the email or attachment window.
This very problem, and the lack of options of where to save a download, is the sole reason I'm going back to the old Outlook. For a week I've been getting used to the new one and changing settings to my liking. I get a lot of attachments, and I need to be able to save them to the folder I want directly from the email. I shouldn't have to open Windows Explorer or OneDrive to move it to the folder I want it in.
I have discovered another way to Save As pdf files specifically (doesn't work for image) to specific folders from within the New Outlook. So click the file to open the Preview window. Click Print. Instead of clicking print to save as PDF, click Cancel. In the window that stays open behind the Print Dialog box, there should be a Save As disc and a Print button. See my photo below. This window is still open after I cancel the Print dialog window. Again did not work for a photo in my email or word/excel docs, but does work for PDF attachments. Click Save As and it opens the explore window that you can locate your folder and it will save as the file name from the email. Hopefully this info helps someone else.
I absolutely agree. This "new" outlook is terrible.
Causing me grief and a massive amount of extra keystrokes and wasted time.
I can't save a file to a specific folder, and I DO NOT USE OneDrive - NOR DO I WISH TO BEGIN.
Downloading and then having me move the file to my specific folder is time wasting.
emails no longer show up as clickable links in the bodies of the emails and my customers and clients are not happy about this either.
I'll be finding an alternative.
