Change default location for downloading attachments

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?

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For home

    This whole thread just reaffirms the MS big brother approach is still a thing...

    "You don't need this feature anymore, I know better than you what's good for you, this is how you should do it from now on"

    30 years of being a hostage in MS products because that's what prevails in most companies...

    Good luck to us all!

    I can't believe how we managed to be productive despite all the hurdles and unnecessary difficulties they put in the products...

    And the support doesn't even know what we're asking for here, so whenever the thread became a mess, they simply stopped responding.

    I just wanted to chime in that I've been following this thread and hadn't checked in a little while. As of today, 10/6/23, STILL NO update or answered questions about any of the issues listed here.. unless there's a recent change I haven't seen yet.

    ***Update: Downloads are working now, maybe MS adjusted the bugs after some days the new version was launched.***

    The only way to download more files is using the 'save all attachments in OneDrive' (1) and go to One Drive> Attachments (2).

    This process is so complicated, it's like the app turned the Outlook web version.

    We really need files saved in our local network and not just in One Drive @support team

    Same thing when mine switched to the new version. Ridiculous that they remove something so necessary.
