Working with Teams
harmon.ie 365 (Classic) creates a bridge between Outlook and Teams, allowing you to easily save emails, attachments and documents to Teams, view and organize your Teams files (including files shared in chats and meetings), share Teams files by email, and share documents to Teams to discuss them with your colleagues.
