Excel Save Dialog Box not launching and unable to set default location and document type

I recently switched computers at work, but I have continue to use the same Microsoft Office 365 suite. Yet somehow I cannot find a way to access the little pop-up dialog box that used to come up when I hit Ctrl+s. I used this dialog box to set a default save location on my computer, as well as a default type- we use csv files almost exclusively here. I've browsed through the Options on Excel and I cannot seem to find anything that will allow me to change this. Can anyone help?

    pmscott I think the dialog box you're looking for can now be accessed by clicking on "Browse" on the Save As menu.

     

    To manage your default save settings, click on File > Options > Save.

     

    I hope this is what you were looking for!

      Sorry, the dialog box I'm looking for is smaller and not the one you get by clicking browse. It was a very short one, with just a box for the name and the location on it, nothing else.

      And the save defaults there are for Share Point and One Drive.
