Filing emails from Outlook to SharePoint libraries
Is there an out-of-the-box integration that allows copy of emails from Outlook to SharePoint libraries? I know user can open Outlook and SharePoint library side by side and drag an email from Outlook to library.
However, is there a better way? Similar to how we can send an email to Microsoft Teams from within Outlook itself.

You can use Power Automate to automatically move emails from Exchange Online to SharePoint as @Juan Carlos González Martín suggested.
If you are talking about emails in the Outlook client on your local machine the options are limited.
Drag and drop emails from Outlook to Sharepoint is the only OOTB integration.
There are lots of Outlook add-ins (link) and even browser-based apps (link) that provide additional features such as:
- extract email metadata (Subject, From, Sent date, ...) and capture into SharePoint columns
- rename emails based on email metadata (e.g. combine subject and sent date)
- view email attachments
- select SharePoint files and attach to a new email
