No 'SAVE AS' option for attachments in new Outlook desktop app

Dear All,

Outlook offered to switch my application to the new Outlook version (there is a switch item below the window close button).

It looks like the in-browser version and works better than the former, but it has a missing option in the attachments drop-down menu, called 'save as'.

We get a lot of documents in our emails, which should be saved in different projects' locations on a local hard drive. The in-browser version and the former desktop app have this option but this new app does not.

How can I add this function back again?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

István

    I had to revert back to the PWA version of outlook because of the missing "Save As" option. I recieve many attachments daily that need to be saved to specific project folders and having to download to the file and then move it to the desired location is unacceptable. Please fix this.

    This is indeed a huge problem.

    I have specific folders set-up on my desktop for the many files I receive daily via Outlook.

    I was able right click the incoming file and save directly to the appropriate folder for later access.

    The inability to do this now adds multiple time-consuming steps.

    What a huge oversight.

    Welp, back to the old version I go.

    Like others, i get a lot of attachments and the inability to open the attachment directly in the appropriate app or direct what folder to save the file has caused me to revert back to "classic." This is a drag because of the many good features in the "new"
