How to Create Attachments via Drag-and-Drop in Outlook

Usually, when you want to create an email with an attachment, you'd start with the email in Outlook and then add the attachment. But the other way works, too.

Create Attachments via Drag-and-Drop in Outlook

To attach a file swiftly using drag-and-drop in Outlook:

• Open the folder containing the file you want to attach in Windows Explorer.
• Make sure your Inbox is open in Outlook.
• Grab the file from Windows Explorer with your mouse and drop it on your open Inbox.

Microsoft Outlook automatically starts a new email message with the file attached.
