Attaching a document from SkyDrive as to a Windows Phone email

OK...

I've never been able to do this. Here are the steps:

• Open a new outgoing email on my Windows phone
• Choose the paperclip "Attach" icon
• This opens up a window to "Choose Picture"
• It does not allow me to choose documents from my SkyDrive

I can go into SkyDrive and choose to share a document through email. However:

• this does not allow me to attach multiple documents, and
• it does not allow me to attach a document when I'm responding to another email in an existing thread.

These are real limitations.

Also, PDF documents are treated differently still. They are harder to attach.

I should be able to attach any document originating from an email.

Thanks. I hope that helps.

 

problem in saving file of email attachment

Hello smitdoshi:

Thank you for posting to the forum regarding the questions you have about opening and saving email attachments. The documents that are downloaded should continue to be accessible within the respective applications and may take a few extra steps to get downloaded
and stored in your phone storage.

If you receive a picture, you can open the picture and you will find a Save icon that will allow you to save this to your photo hub.

When it comes to documents (specifically Word and Excel) these should appear within Office in places > email. Open the document and then select the save as option. There should be a save to box that would allow you to choose between the phone and OneDrive.
Once you save to the phone you would be able to find the document when viewing the folders in file explorer.

When it comes to PDF's there is an extra step that seems to be required. The document should appear within the PDF reader application. From there you would tap and hold the document and select the share option. Share the document with OneDrive. Once
the document is shared here you can go to the OneDrive application or the OneDrive section of Office, select the document/s, tap the download icon and select the location on your phone you would like to download the files to.

Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
