Saving email attachments (pictures) using Dropbox for Outlook on Windows 11

Hi smart peolple

I have installed Dropbox for Outlook(desktop) on Windows 11.

We are getting lots of mails with photos from out staff when they are cleaning. I wish to use the app for saving those photos on Dropbox. However when saving photos to Dropbox, It will also save all the icons in peoples signature. That is often 5-6 tiny pictures with phones, FB, LinkedIn logos ect. Anyway to avoid those tiny icons/pictures? 

NB: I know I can remove them manually, but that takes way to long time.

    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?

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