Drag your Outlook file attachment directly into Sharepoint

Did you know that you can drag your Outlook file attachment directly into Sharepoint?
It is straightforward with a few exceptions. Here are the steps:
Open your SharePoint siteSelect the Document Library to store the fileSelect the “Explorer View” of the Document LibraryNow open OutlookOpen the Email with the attachmentResize Outlook so you can see the explorer view of the document library
Click on the attachment and drag to the folder area of the explorer view
The beauty of this is that the file never gets pulled out of Outlook onto a local drive/directory and is less likely to present a security risk.
