attaching documents from confluence to outlook e-mails

[Mikael Stålberg]

Hi

I have understood that there is no functionality for "drag&drop" with for example pdf-files placed on a wiki-page to drag them into an open outlook e-mail.

I´ve seen in a previous thread that someone managed to "map to confluence (assign a drive letter)" so that attachments could be added to outlook e-mail via Browse this PC

Does anyone know if this is possible and if so how? :)

Thanks.

@Mikael Stålberg Outlook requires the file you are attaching to be stored on the computer.  You cannot drag and drop it from a browser.  If you were to map a local drive to the server drive it still would not work since the files are not stored in an easily usable format.
