The “ View” link on the top right lets you switch between a grid of images and a list (as shown), and you can sort by filename, who sent it, the subject of the email that included the attachment, date, and even which folder you used to save it.īut what’s really worth knowing more about is “ Filter“, on the very top. There’s a lot to see here, so let’s start with the left side: You can easily browse files or photos with a click. This is the Outlook attachment browser and it’s terrific. If you’ve never clicked on it, you’d have no idea about its functionality.
I’ve highlighted the icon on the left edge, it’s a paperclip. So let’s start with a view of my inbox, or enough of it so you can see that link:
More likely than not, you’ve seen the link to the attachment browser in and just never realized that’s what it was. It’s a completely different way to browse your inbox and other folders and if you get a lot of files or images as attachments as I do, it’s a lifesaver to find something days, weeks, or even years later. You ask about one of my favorites, actually, the attachment browser. That’s my experience with Outlook Online too that there are quite a few surprising and useful features if you know where to click, even some that Google might consider adding to its industry-leading online email program (1.8 billion active Gmail users versus about 400 million users). Turns out that there’s almost nothing at all you can’t access if you know where to click! But you can’t help wonder what’s missing with it not being an actual program running on your computer.
Services like Gmail and are terrific in that you can log in anywhere and access them, even from a colleague’s computer. The migration from standalone app to Web-based email software has generally meant that we gained some features and lost others.
