Office 365 AutoSave to OneDrive - how to choose the folder location where a new document is stored?
I have the same problem. At the moment I have about 100 documents all in root of OneDrive. That is "bull**bleep**", sorry! :-(
- Just out of interest - when you saved any one of these 100 documents and clicked the Save To OneDrive option - where did you think they would be saved to given that it does not ask for a folder or default location?
Brian Reid I, like most sane people would expect it to save back to the Onedrive folder it was opened from, not the root of Onedrive.
Yes, this is exactly what I thought, too - but, no, it saves it to the Onedrive\Documents folder; so that I now we have two copies of the file in the Documents folder hierarchy: the newly autosaved one in the \Documents folder and the original in the subfolder it was opened from. This is why I turn off autosave and choose not to autosave my Word documents to Onedrive. I have far too often been working on a document that I subsequently realised was not the latest version I was most recently working on. It's bad for productivity.
Word should ask to which folder in OneDrive I wanted to save the document in. If there exists none I should be asked to create new one.
