Without this tool, moving files from Outlook to SharePoint is a lot of  work depending on how many files there you have. There are many reasons  why SharePoint Outlook Integration will shorten the transfer of e-mail  files process from Outlook to SharePoint.<\/p>\n<p>With a section in the  Outlook sidebar, you can now drag and drop right from Outlook&#8217;s  interface. Dragging and dropping is not limited to a single file either,  you could drag and drop as many e-mail files from your Outlook inbox by  left click, hold shift and left click again. This way, transfer of bulk  e-mail files are just a click away. This convenience lets you transfer  as many e-mail files as you have in your Outlook inbox for increased  expediency.<\/p>\n<p>SharePoint Outlook Integration also gives you the  opportunity to move e-mail attachments. This will allow you to separate  attachments from irrelevant e-mails which allows for uploading only the  attachment into a SharePoint lists\/libraries.<\/p>\n<p>Backing up e-mail  files from Outlook to SharePoint requires renaming of every file because  special characters in the file name are not allowed in SharePoint. This  wastes time and is very inconvenient when moving an e-mail over to  SharePoint. SharePoint Outlook Integration allows you to go around this  of this process by saving the e-mail file with the existing title.<\/p>\n<p>Entering  in e-mail metadata is the most burdensome part of e-mail file transfer  from Outlook into SharePoint. For every e-mail file transferred, there  are several sections to help organize e-mails. Just imagine having  several hundreds of e-mails to back-up, this would make backing up even  more effort because of all the information you will need to input. This  is tedious, and it also doesn&#8217;t add any value either. SharePoint Outlook  Integration pulls all available metadata from your selected e-mails to  simplify this process. It also fills in all the pulled e-mail  information to help catalog e-mails and attachments.<\/p>\n<p>To make the  cataloging process more convenient, the system admin can create lists or  libraries for certain departments or topics. This will not only help  organize e-mails but it will make sure certain departments have the  resources they need. Classifying e-mails has never been more convenient  with SharePoint Outlook Integration.<\/p>\n<p>There are more steps than  meets the eye when e-mail files are dragged and dropped and because of  this, many processes are usually overlooked. These features are the  basic outline of moving Outlook e-mails and attachments to SharePoint.
