Outlook.com Now Allows You to Save Files Directly to OneDrive

Microsoft has been Horizontally Integrating Features at a Much Faster Pace over the Last Few Months and it Looks like we are Starting to See Another Feature Jumping the Product Gap. If you Have an Outlook.com Email Account, Microsoft is Rolling Out, or Possibly Testing, a New Way to Save Attachments. By Clicking on an Attachment, you Now Have 3 Options: View Online, Save to OneDrive, or Download. If you Click the OneDrive Option, it will Save the Document to your Cloud Storage which is Quite Handy as then you Can Access that Document Anywhere you Have a OneDrive App Installed. We Aren't Quite Sure if this Feature is Rolling Out to Everyone or is Simply being Tested across Various Accounts.


We See it in Some of our Personal Accounts while Others are Reporting that, they still Have the Old Method When Viewing Attachments. It Makes a Lot of Sense for Microsoft to Build this into Outlook.com as it Not only Promotes their OneDrive Service but, Adds Another Layer of Flexibility to the Platform. This also Shows the Power of the Ecosystem as well for Microsoft as Other Cloud Storage Services are Not Able to Offer Deep Integration into Other Platforms unless the Vendor Allows them to do so with an API. Let us Know if you are Seeing the New Features in your Account and How you Like it in the Comments below.
