How to leverage Drag-Drop Outlook email items in SharePoint Library

Hi Friends,

I have requirement to drag-drop multiple items (File System and Outlook Emails) to SharePoint library and upload them. I am able to achieve the drag-drop multiple items from File System but not getting any idea about handling for Outlook Emails. I have implemented drag-drop multiple items from File System using one Application Page with Ajax Multiple File upload toolkit. Please suggest some way to handle same for Outlook Emails.

Hi,

According to your description, my understanding is that you want to you want to drag-drop Outlook email items to SharePoint library.

Per my knowledge, there is no OOTB feature in SharePoint can directly drag-drop from Outlook to SharePoint directly.

As a workaround, you can open the library to Explorer view which can make the library accessible through windows file explorer. Then you can drag-drop between Outlook Client application and the library Explorer view. It will save the Outlook email item as .msg file.

Thanks Team. I know that alternate way to achieve the same kind of functionality. But due to client request we are open to provide the functionality using customization. I tried using jQuery/Ajax multiple uploads but it is working for files from Windows Explorer view but when I tried to drag file from outlook email it is not coming. Please suggest some customization if we have. This will be helpful. Thanks
