Upload photos and files to OneDrive

Attach a photo or file to an email

All other attachment types will still act as regular attachments. When you attach an image that’s larger than 1MB to an email, you have the option to compress/resize it. For best performance, there is a size limit to attachments in Outlook for iOS and Android.
