1 What is AttachmentExtractor used for?

AttachmentExtractor was generated to extract attachments, notes or emails/email content safely from Dynamics 365 to locations like SharePoint or a file share.

This action saves a lot of time and money, because

a) you do not have to manually extract the files to a more economical location like SharePoint or a file share.

b) using AttachmentExtractor leads to a cost reduction, that can be easily checked:
