How to transfer emails from Outlook to One drive for storage and access when necessary?

Hi Riders on the Storm

Thank you for posting on the Microsoft Community forum.

I understand that you have question on how you can transfer emails from Outlook to OneDrive for storage. I would be happy to answer your question.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to transfer emails directly from Outlook to OneDrive for storage. However, you can save individual emails as files and then upload them to OneDrive for storage. Here are the steps to save an email as a file in Outlook:

1. Open the email you want to save.
2. Click on the "File" tab in the top left corner of the screen.
3. Click on "Save As" in the left-hand menu.
4. Choose a location on your computer to save the email file.
5. Choose a file format for the email. We recommend choosing "Outlook Message Format (.msg)" for maximum compatibility.
6. Click "Save" to save the email as a file.

Once you have saved the email as a file, you can upload it to OneDrive for storage. Here are the steps to upload a file to OneDrive:

1. Go to the OneDrive website (onedrive.com) and sign in with your Microsoft account.
2. Click on the "Upload" button in the top left corner of the screen.
3. Choose the email file you want to upload and click "Open".
4. The file will begin uploading to OneDrive. Once it is finished, you can access it from any device with internet access.

Please note that this process must be done manually for each email you want to save to OneDrive. There is no way to automate the process or transfer entire email folders from Outlook to OneDrive.

Hope it answers your question.

Sincerely,
