Change default location for downloading attachments

i have same issue too

so not user friendly

I have a similar issue with Outlook on the web browser (Chrome) but it happens only with the attached PDF file, once click on download, the file is downloaded to the "Downloads" folder and automatically opens with the local PDF viewer. It bothers me to close the local PDF viewer and move the file from the Downloads folder to the proper folder. instead of choosing the right folder in one fly.

I looked in the Outlook setting but could not find any option related. I struggled with this issue for months until today I found out how to fix it.

In my case, it has nothing to do with Outlook but the browser setting. I went to the Chrome: Settings/Downloads

Made sure the "Ask where to save each file before downloading" was checked. (This option was always been checked since before I had this issue.)

Then I pushed the Clear button on "Open certain file type automatically after download". Viola! It's done. **You will never see this option if you never accept some options in the browser like what I mentioned below.**

I found that this happened because I had unintentionally accepted the browser pop-up menu "Always open with system viewer" for the PDF file type.

** It will automatically download the associated file type to the Downloads folder and open it with the system viewer even if the "Ask where to save each file before downloading" was checked. **

Hope this will help someone who has the same issue with Outlook on the web browser.

Like all here, I spent like an hour on this. Where is the productivity gain? Thanks MS

Does anyone use this beautiful but unadapted application in your organisation ?? Seriously

Unbelievable - They don't include basic existing functionality like Save As...

Unbelievable - You can't even drag and drop to file explorer

Unbelievable - The Microsoft moderator didn't know there was a new version of Outlook

Unbelievable - The moderator ran away 3 months ago... there's a constant stream of customer complaints, and they're silent!

I was fearful when a previous poster said they switched back and then had no emails available from the period they were using the new version!

Has anyone else experienced this? That would even be more Unbelievable!!!

I switched back last night (after spending some sweaty hours trying to find work that had been saved in some random place) and yes the emails were missing at first, but they all downloaded within a couple of minutes.

Seems no one from MS bothers to read or answer this thread anymore...

So, I made a new question/thread, clearly indicating that this issue is for New Outlook.

Please add your comments to this thread, if you also have issues with saving attachments in New Outlook.
