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?

2025-04-09T18:23:22+00:00 I have been saving my files in dropbox, And in the classic outlook it was not a problem to attach these recent files for years. I cannot fathom why anyone in their right mind would change to this. it's is cause enough for me to not want to use the new outlook, but when I click the button to go back to classic outlook the window closes and I have no way to open classic outlook.
This behavior and the software forcing us to use other Microsoft products seems highly unethical if not illegal.
At the least its enough of a headache that it may precipitate reassessing options to replace outlook and for that matter all of office 365!

More than a year later, so many users missing this feature. Fix it.

Native Outlook works beautifully with this feature and will stay as long as I can. It's ridiculous that MSFT wants to force users to use OneDrive, that's why they don't change this. They want to shove OneDrive down your throat.
