How can I save email attachments in Hotmail directly to my SkyDrive without first downloading them to my computer?

Best Answer

You can't, unless it is for e-mail attachments you are sending.

From a Microsoft rep directly (via this forum which is available now only due to Google cache):

there is a feature in Hotmail that allows the attachments that you’ll be sending, to be saved directly to your SkyDrive account. To enable this feature, please refer to the steps below: Sign in to your Hotmail account and go to your inbox. Click on Options located under your profile name, choose More options. Under Writing email, click on Attachments. Choose the option Always send files using SkyDrive. Click Save button.

This feature is only for the attachment that you, as the sender, will attach. There is no option that will directly save the attachment you received in your account, to your SkyDrive. For this case, you really have to download the attachment first and then manually upload it to your SkyDrive account.
