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

    the three dots save the actual email and not the attachment BUT you can now save attachments to different locations - not just OneDrive and the drag and drop feature is also working. Thank you Microsoft for listening to our suggestions and fixing this.

    Hi,

    just select "download" option at attachment and the "Save as" window pops up automatically, where you can select the prefered folder to save your attachment.

    For me it's a solution already... :)

    Hello,

    Thanks for the reply! For me it still automatically downloads to the 'Downloads' folder.

    It seems like it is, but one should still be able to choose the specific OneDrive folder to which you want to save the document.
