Outlook Save As… dialog box hangs while waiting to connet to network share. – Microsoft Q&A

Hi @Matthew Redding Technology ,

What is the detailed version of Outlook(File > Office Account > About)? Please upgrade Outlook to the latest version(File > Office Account > Update Options > Update Now)

To verify if the issue is related to some add-ins, open Outlook in safe mode and check if the issue continues: Press windows+R and type outlook /safe in run command.

Besides, corrupted profile may have a impact on Outlook performance, it is suggested to create a new profile from control panel: Control Panel > Mail > Show profile > Add, then re-connect your account

If above doesn’t help, you may need perform a clean boot and test if the issue continues.
