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.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
You should probably explain exactly how this feature is working for you...because it's not for thousands of other users ;-)
No, simply copying / dragging into the folder does not work either.
The current "solution" is simply totally inefficient for people who have to work with lots of files in every mail and all the time. It turns one hour into 3 hours of work. Good for those who need occupational therapy. I don't need it. Absolute garbage.
- Open the folder where you want to save the file in Explorer.
- Drag the attachment file from Outlook to Explorer.
That's all.
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?
Yep, Its not available and a real pain.
I have changed my print function to print to pdf.
When I click print it auto wants to print to PDF and on completion ask for the selected folder.
This is the fastest way I know to down load to a preferred location.
Right, why on Earth would Microsoft design a new Outlook without the same features that the old Outlook has. This is a basic feature. Yes, I know I can move it once its in my downloads folder but for many people who extract documents routinely sent via email, this is absurd.
