Office 365 AutoSave to OneDrive - how to choose the folder location where a new document is stored?
In any Office 365 application, such as Word, Excel or PowerPoint, the titlebar shows an "AutoSave" button. Upon turning this function on, a dialog pops up where you choose which OneDrive to save the ...
Am I reading that there is still no way to change where the autosave in Word365 saves to? It saves to my onedrive programs.exe folder. Why would it save there? I did not choose that even when first setting this up. I am trying to change the location to my onedrive document folder. This is also true for my phone, laptop, desktop and notebook. I assume other people were having it save to other folders (not of their choosing), but these are not all the same name, so there must be a way to change this.
I saw the question, Why don't you "save as" first. I have to admit that it is FASTER to click the autosave than it is to go to the save as and do all that. Autosave saves it immediately (after naming it, if you want to name it). It auto saves to the programs.exe folder, which I don't want, but I can go in and move it (from the drop down in word--where the document title is at the top of my screen) and select a new folder. It really would be simpler just to have it ask in the same place that I am titling the document the first time for the autosave.
What I don't understand is why I cannot change the autosave file location anywhere on the online onedrive. Since all of my tech is autosaving to the onedrive online programs.exe folder.
I did delete the online folder to see what would happen and it now gives me an error when i try to use autosave. So it seems I have to use their chosen folder or nothing.
