how do I stop all my excel files from being saved to the OneDrive

If you want to stop your Excel files from being automatically saved to OneDrive, you can follow these steps in Office 365:

1. Open Excel: Launch Microsoft Excel.
2. Click on "File": In the upper left corner of the Excel window, click on the "File" tab. This will open the Backstage view.
3. Select "Options": In the Backstage view, click on "Options" at the bottom of the navigation pane. This will open the Excel Options window.
4. Go to "Save" Options:
• In the Excel Options window, click on the "Save" tab on the left-hand side.
5. Change the Default Save Location:
• Under the "Save workbooks" section, you will see a field labeled "Default local file location."
• Click in this field and browse to the location on your local computer where you want your Excel files to be saved by default. This location can be a local folder or any location on your computer.
• After selecting the desired local folder, click the "OK" button to save the changes.
6. Close and Restart Excel:
• Close the Excel Options window.
• Close Excel and then reopen it.

Now, when you create or save Excel files, they should be saved to the location you specified on your local computer instead of automatically saving to OneDrive.

Please note that these steps are specific to configuring the default save location for Excel files on your computer. OneDrive integration in Office 365 can be managed separately. If you also want to adjust how OneDrive interacts with your Office applications, you can review OneDrive settings in your Office 365 account or contact your IT administrator for assistance with OneDrive configuration.
