I can't believe I have to ask something so dumb but how to I make Outlook ask me every time where to save the email attachments that I am downloading instead of automatically putting them in the Downloads folder?

Hi Team,
I do have the similar issues, When I am trying to download any attachments by default it's going to the download path.
For your information, I am not using web mail I am using "Out look New" app in my laptop.
I can select download and it brings up the window for me to pick the folder/ location I want it....I personally would like the option to select a folder as default and it would just drop it all there. It was dropping everything in my downloads folder, but now it asks me everytime...SUPER annoying. Why cant we have a "download" option that puts it in our downloads folder and a "save as" option that allows us to customize it?
Once again, Microsoft screwing things up.
Attachments can now be "saved as" when downloaded!

I had someone that actually reached out as they preferred the attachments automatically going into the downloads folder as it was a 1 click experience.
I couldn't find any option to specify download to "Downloads" or ask every time like Edge for example has.
Is this something we can change back?

FINALLY! I could not find my way back to this thread to update, and I've been waiting for a reply notification. They updated this about a week, maybe two weeks ago. This was such a small and dumb yet biggest annoyance ever, and it's finally fixed! Thank you for posting the change :)
