Attaching One Drive files using Outlook 2013.  Can this be done?

I had asked this as a followup to a post in a different forum, and it was suggested that I post this here. 

It still appears that you cannot attach an item from your One Drive for Business directly while using Outlook 2013.   It's hard to understand when I can open a One Drive for Business file from within Excel or Word, but I can't attach it in Outlook 2013 (all the while on the same computer).  I don't sync my One Drive as I don't want to clog up my Surface Pro as I typically have access to my One Drive and am rarely offline.  For those few instances, I can plan ahead.

I do know that I can do this from Outlook Web App, but that means that I have to start OWA which I don't have running as I'm using Outlook 2013.

Where do I provide some feedback on this and get it on the radar as a requested improvement?

Thanks,

Hi Mark,

I am not sure what you mean, because I can add attachments from OneDrive for Business with Outlook 2013. I must add, the files I add as an attachment are available offline. Maybe that does the trick for you.

This functionality is coming with Outlook 2016 and will most likely be backported to 2013. Don't quote me on that though :)
