In the past, to attach a file stored in\u00a0a SharePoint site, we’d have to open SharePoint in the browser, navigate to the file stored in a library in a site, download it to the desktop, then drag it into the email. And if you wanted to attach multiple files, you’d have to download each file one at a time, which can be a pain.<\/p>\n

There’s a new way to attach files stored in SharePoint into an email\u00a0using Outlook 2016. Check it out:<\/p>\n

Step 1: Open Outlook 2016.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Make sure you have setup Connected Services – See: “How to Set Up Connected Services in Outlook 2016<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Create a new email.<\/p>\n

    \n

  2. Click on Attach File.<\/li>\n
  3. Click on Browse Web Locations. Choose Sites – [COMPANY NAME]. You’ll now be able to access files stored in your SharePoint site.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
