Adding e-mails or e-mail attachments to MetaShare can be done using one of the following methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method 1 – Drag and drop the e-mails\/attachments to MetaShare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can drag and drop e-mails and\/or their attachments directly from Outlook to MetaShare, when using Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome as a browser:\"Drag<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thereafter MetaShare will ask you to fill in the e-mails\/attachments metadata, the same way as when using the document upload function<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method 2 – Save the e-mails\/attachments to a file folder and later upload them to MetaShare from there<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Select the e-mails that you wish to upload to MetaShare.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Click on Outlook’s or the e-mail’s “File” tab and from there select the “Save As” or “Save Attachments” option:
    \"Select<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Select a suitable folder on your disk to store the e-mail\/attachment. Our recommendation would be to save to the “Downloads” folder, as the e-mails\/attachments will probably be deleted after they have been uploaded to MetaShare.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Now you can upload the document from the Download folder to a MetaShare workspace, following these instructions<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Method 3 – Use a third-party Outlook add-in to save your e-mails\/attachments to MetaShare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There are a few third-party Outlook add-ins that are able to save e-mails and their attachments to SharePoint and most of these also give the user the option to save e-mails to SharePoint even when sending e-mails. The list below is not a full list, just some that we have been working with in different projects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Harmon.ie<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Konnect eMail<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Colligo Email Manager<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. OnePlaceMail<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. MacroView<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Note<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Regardless of which method you use to upload your e-mails from Outlook to MetaShare, the File Viewer in Microsoft 365, that we use to display e-mails in MetaShare as well as in standard SharePoint, will not show any of an e-mail’s attachments and therefore user’s will not be able to open these attachments from the e-mail when it is opened in MetaShare\/SharePoint. If you download the e-mails<\/a> you will however see that the attachments are still available in the e-mail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
