New Outlook drag and drop not working?
In classic Outlook you could drag emails and attachments directly into any browser tab or native app. New Outlook broke that. Magic Dragin was created to fix it.

attachment
You grab the file, drag toward the upload box, and nothing happens. New Outlook does not transfer a real file the way classic Outlook did.
What changed
Classic Outlook stored emails and attachments locally, so apps could grab them mid-drag. New Outlook streams files from the cloud, which breaks drag and drop.
Why it matters
A one-second drag turns into download, find the file, browse, upload. Do that fifty times a day and you feel it.
Why not stay on classic?
Microsoft is adding new features to new Outlook only, and classic Outlook will eventually lose support. The practical answer is to get the workflow working in new Outlook.
