A Group Outlook for Outlook in MS Office 2016

Outlook gets the most thorough makeover to accommodate Office's collaboration features, and some new features are only visible if you use an Office 2016 Business account or SharePoint services, though other new features are available to anyone with a Microsoft account, business-level or not.

For example, one feature available to everyone lets you attach a link to a file on your OneDrive drive instead of attaching the file itself, and do this with a single click. When you click the Attach File button while composting a message, Outlook displays a list of your recently-edited documents. Click on a document stored in www.office.com/setup OneDrive, and Outlook inserts a live link to the cloud-based file—although, if you prefer to send the actual file, you can click on the attachment and choose an option to attach a copy of the file.

Dropbox users will recognize this as a one-click counterpart to the multi-step operation of fetching a link to a file stored in Dropbox and then pasting the link into a mail message. Advantages of this new method in Outlook include mail messages without a lot of extra bulk, and your ability to update a document after sending the link, so that the recipient of the file will always open the current version.
