How Do I Save Outlook Attachments to OneDrive for Business

Saving Office 365 email attachments to OneDrive for Business offers several advantages and can be a smart practice for individuals and organizations. Here are some reasons why it's a beneficial strategy:

Version Control: OneDrive for Business automatically tracks version history. This is valuable when working on documents with multiple revisions. You can revert to previous versions if needed, ensuring that important changes are not lost.
File Recovery: If you accidentally delete an email attachment or it becomes corrupted, having a copy in OneDrive for Business provides a backup. Microsoft's retention policies may also help in recovering files that were deleted or modified.

By moving attachments to OneDrive for Business, you can free up email storage and avoid cluttering your inbox. This can be especially helpful for individuals or organizations with limited email storage quotas.
