Email Attachments in the new version of outlook.

I use the new version of outlook. The drop down menu for attachments, suggests three files; none is the most recent file used/saved. I have to go into my word documents folders, find the file, and open it to attach it to an email. How can I get the drop down menu of suggested files to display my most recently worked on file?

    This is literally the only reason i'm not using the new version of Outlook. It's incredible how one small feature and/or software bug can alter the user experience entirely.

    I will NOT use the New Outlook, until this feature works as in Old Outlook. I want to see the most recently Saved files to my desktop on the Suggested files list, period.

    So is there still no solution to this? My three suggested files were opened five days to a week ago and I'd love to have a "recent items" choice in Outlook 365 webmail rather than basically "useless items".

    As someone who started using computers in the 90's, it's so frustrating. We experienced a long improvement in computers get faster and more responsive... only for them to start going backwards.

    I hope the most recent files feature will be fixed. I used it all the time emailing a spreadsheet or word document just prior to sending it an email.

    Are you saving the files to OneDrive? My list only has files saved to OneDrive, but like you they are not the most recent ones.
