Back in the day when SharePoint was a separate server entity you could email a file directly into a Library. I've recently set up a SharePoint 365 site for a team and they want to be able to do just that. I've been out of the SharePoint loop for a few years so I can't find the setting (if it exists)

    Hi Pete,

    Thanks for posting in the community. We are happy to help you.

    Regarding your query, it is possible. Please check the following points.

    1. You need to use the Outlook desktop app to create a new email and upload the document as an attachment.
    2. After you add the attachment, you can click the down arrow> Upload> More. This will open a dialog box that lists all Microsoft 365 groups. When you choose the group and click Upload, the document will be stored in the default Documents library of the associated site.

    Please note that Outlook for Web doesn't support saving the attachment to SharePoint directly; furthermore, the above method only supports saving the attachment to the Documents library, not other libraries. If you want to save the attachment to other libraries, you will need to use the Power Automate flow.

    We look forward to your response. Thanks for your cooperation.
