Enhance the File Explorer like interface when saving attachments to a SP site
We can readily open up and save attachments from Outlook into a SP site. However, the "File Explorer" like interface is very limited when viewing a SP site.
I am entering this request in SP as I expect that it is a SP limitation and not an Outlook limitation, as saving files from Outlook to a local drive still has all the normal functionality.
In this case, I want to save the attachments to a new folder, but unlike for a local drive, when doing this a SP site, I can't create a new folder or similar, I can only save to an existing folder.
Hence I then have to go to the SP site in File Explorer View (which I am very glad that are never removing the functionality for), or using a browser, create the folder, and then go back to Outlook to eventually save the files.
Similarly for Saving As from Word or Excel, the File Explorer like view interface is extremely limited when displaying a SP site.
I assume that I am not the first person who has tried to save to a SP site from Outlook or Save as from Word etc. that wants to create a new folder at the same time.
Thank you for considering my request and very quickly providing an update.

Try mapping a network drive with Zee Drive then you should be able to save attachments from Outlook direct to File Explorer http://www.thinkscape.com/Map-Network-Drives-To-Office-365-OneDrive/
