MS Outlook v 1.2.0. April, 2022.
Egnyte for Outlook brings Egnyte content directly into Outlook installed on your PC, Mac or Outlook on the web. With this integration, Egnyte Users will be able to share links to files or folders with others securely and now will be able to store emails with metadata in Egnyte.
Since users are saving emails with metadata in Egnyte, they can use the Collaborate platform and advanced search functionality to locate emails using supported fields easily and quickly. Egnyte users will also be able to open saved email (.EML file) using the Egnyte Desktop product, which will open it in the installed Outlook client to take further actions.
This integration is located under Apps & Integrations and is named Egnyte for Outlook. Currently, this Add-in is available to all under all plans.

End User Experience with the Added Metadata to Saved Emails
