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.

    This is awful. I can no longer download by default to my computer. This has doubled the time it takes to scan and download docs and I have tons of docs to load. It happened in the past and got corrected. Please rectify this bumble.

    Absolutely agree! This is garbage. Your post was almost a year ago and the issue remains unaddressed.

    So my emails always downloaded right to the download folder that was great.

    Now overnight they seem to have changed it and I click download and the save as box comes up. This added extra steps to my emails.

    Is there a way to make it not pop up that window?

    Ah yes. Microsoft. "Work smarter, not harder."

    I guess they forgot about that in the same way as Google forgot about "Don't be evil."
