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

    My apologies, I assumed you were using the web version of OneDrive.

    In Files, look for the OneDrive folder, it should have the Cloud icon, like so:

    Alternatively, you can open the OneDrive folder from the Tray icon, just left click the icon:

    Then look for a folder called Attachments inside the OneDrive folder.

    Hey, it's either laugh or cry! XD

    But... I can't find a My Files folder on my desktop. When I open File Explorer, I've got Desktop, Documents, Pictures, Music, etc. (each with subfolders where I organize my projects) but no My Files.

    At the bottom of the tab, to taunt me, is this:

    This got a laugh out of me :)

    Files saved to OneDrive should be under My Files -> Attachments

    Let me know if this helps!

    I use the desktop version of Outlook. There's no setting for this.

    Exactly! Settings in the browser do nothing for me. There's no setting for this in the desktop version (or if there is it's well-hidden).
