However, you aren't completely out of luck as you can get a link to files from the Insert File explorer.Ĭlick the Attach File button to open the Insert File explorer then find the file. If you sync the files to your drive and open them, this won’t work, as Recent files will list the local file path. This list includes both files opened from your hard drive and links to files online.


How to use: when you are composing the message, switch to the Insert tab and click Hyperlink, then Recent Files. This will work with any cloud service and any version of Outlook - the only limitation is you need to have opened the file using a URL recently. When you open a file online, it adds the URL to a recently used file list, which you can assess using the Hyperlink button in Outlook. Although Outlook doesn't have a button for " Insert Files on OneDrive" (yet), you can insert links to files if you previously opened the file using a web browser. You can now send links to files in OneDrive for Business when you use Office 365's OWA, but what about Outlook? Is there an easy way to send links to OneDrive files in Outlook?
