Using New Outlook on Windows for professional communication and productivity
Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.
Dragging and dropping attachments is currently not supported in New Outlook for Windows. This is a known limitation in the resigned Outlook client.
As a workaround, you can switch back to Classic Outlook by turn off the toggle button in the top right corner of the window.
Or using Outlook web https://outlook.office.com. Drag and drop to desktop or file folders does work in most browsers.
