OneDrive for Business and Outlook desktop version integration.

I was hoping my question was quick and simple to answer; however, it seems to be more difficult than I thought.

Our company is currently using Egnyte for our enterprise storage.  I wanted to migrate from Egnyte to OneDrive via purchasing Office 365 Business Premium, but that might never happen due to integration/compatibility issues.  Egnyte has the flexibility to integrate with Outlook, destkop edition.  This means their third-party plug-in allows me to: attach files/share file links in emails, upload documents direct to Egnyte from within Outlook, and request files from other users in our company Egnyte domain.

Does OneDrive integrate with Outlook (DESKTOP version)?  This only seems to be possible with Outlook.com

I used the quick chat and called the MPN, thinking they would have some information about this.  Unfortunately, they had no clue what I was talking about.  I was assuming that Microsoft would have the same level or better integration capabilities than third-party vendors.  I feel like I missed a step or overlooked something.

Some please point me in the right direction.

Hi,

As far as I can tell, there's no such OneDrive integration with Outlook.

I think it's actually a good suggestion to add such integration, it will be much easier for users to add attachments in the email and upload them to OneDrive. Please be assured that any improvements in the product are based on users' requirements. Our developers strive to capture Microsoft users' ideas and are working hard to create a more powerful and easy-to-use product.
