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 seems to be working now. I tested opening existing file and making no changes, opening and updating - and in both desktop and web apps and they are all showing up almost immediately under Suggested Files (although only the last 3)....

    But if you click on the option there that says OneDrive, you'll see all the Recent ones to choose from (even if they're stored in a Shared location, not your OneDrive)

    Here is the version of Outlook I am on:

    As many have pointed about the Office Apps, they are NOT productivity tools, and the same applies to Outlook. Like you, I have all files on One Drive, but there is no setting to select or deselect their "suggested files" or default to recent ones. The App seeks to change your behavior and does not seek your preferences or learn from them. That list of things to do is hysterical--the old Windows clunking along behind the scenes as it tries to paint an Apple beard on its apps. Honestly....

    So new ones show but older ones they were opened and edited are not showing?

    Do you have more than one account in new Outlook? The insert list shows files saved to OneDrive for the account the message is from. Unlike classic Outlook, the file list is not per-computer, its by account. And it is onl files in OneDrive - not recently used files anywhere on the computer.

    My list looks current but I have not created new files the last day or two - and I save most files in one of my 3 OneDrives.
