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

    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"

    Hi,

    You can click on the attached file and it opens the preview, then you just need to press Ctrl+S and that opens ''save as'.

    Hope it helps.

    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.

    somewhat of a work around, when you download an attachment a notice pops up like a download in a broswer, you can drag that file reference in the notice to a folder and it will be placed in that folder.
