Upload a locally saved file to your OneDrive

When you attach a document that is saved on your computer and not in an online location, you also can choose to upload the document to your OneDrive before sending the email. Uploading the attachment makes collaboration easy. You can be sure that everyone is collaborating on the same (and most up-to-date) version of the file.

1. On the ribbon, click Attach File > Browse This PC, and choose the file you want to attach.
2. In your email message, select the down arrow for the attachment.
3. Choose Upload to OneDrive, and then choose the desired location for the file.
   
   NOTE: You might see choices such as the OneDrive location for your work account, the OneDrive location for your personal account, and document libraries for various groups you belong to.
4. In your email message, select the down arrow for the attachment again.
5. Choose Change Permissions, and then choose one of the following:
   • Organization can Edit if you want anyone in your organization to be able to modify the file.
   • Organization can View, if you want anyone in your organization to be able to read, but not modify, the file.
   • Recipients can Edit if you want only the recipients of your email to be able to modify the file.
   • Recipients can View if you want only the recipients of your email to be able to read, but not modify, the file.
