    HI Thomas Oreskov, currently, there isn't a method via Dropbox to only download larger images from emails in the Outlook integration.

    It might be possible via Outlook, though you might need to contact them for further assistance to see if this is an option in their integration.

I hope the gif works:

  1. Folder in dropbox is ampty
  2. In Outlook(desktop) I am using the Dropbox app to save the attechments.
  3. In Dropbox folder 8 pictures are being saved. Most of them is tiny.

Are the pictures that are being saved the same size as they would be if you were to download and attach them manually Thomas Oreskov?

    Hi Walter 

    Did you have a point in asking about the size of the files?

      I was merely checking if the issue comes from the integration or something else in this case Thomas Oreskov
