Save your files to the cloud more easily

Hope Metadata Tagging can be included in this dialog box too.

I certainly hope the default can be changed. We require all files be saved to our own servers.

Best of all; offer a setting in options and a GPO to choose the classic save experience, the backstage or the new save experience for *each* save trigger (ctrl-s, f12, QAT save icon, close without saving)

I've been using this for a few days now and it's so frustrating because if it was only just a little more flexible it would be fabulous but as it's so rigid it's just infuriating. The top three slots on the list are OneDrive root, ODB root and Documents; none of those are where I ever save any documents. The other slots are populated by 4-5 of the 10-12 folders I use frequently. If the folder I want is on that list, It's perfect. But I can't pick what I want to see there or remove the top 3 I never use and replace them with 3 useful folders, so it's one extra click to get to where I can navigate almost every time. That means I never voluntarily use this dialog because I can't remember if the folder I want will be on the short auto-populated list or not, so I just avoid it entirely.

to make this useful rather than annoying; let me choose how many slots to have on the list. If I want 12, give me 12.

let me choose what's in every slot; don't put a folder I will never use in the way and make me click and scroll past it every time.

I bet admins would like a GPO to autopopulate those folder slots and pin folders based on things like group membership.

this is about half way useful; make it flexible and it will be great instead of infuriating.

What if files has to be saved to some other place most of the time? This will increase time spend saving documents. KFM already works, so if someone saves a file locally, it is still synced. If they save it to other place, that other place presumably already has backup solution. I don't see a point of forcing this default.

With the very short list of recent folders shown, this looks as if it will introduce even more friction into saving documents into the folders I want to use - I rotate between at least ten folders that I have pinned as recent folders so I can save into them quickly. Please show that we can still save files to the correct location without having to move them in a second, time-wasting step.

This also shows no sign of improving integration with OneDrive folder on demand. 

In fact, this looks like the 'autosave without a real file name' change that had to be removed from Word because users disliked it. Are you putting back the automatic file name creation that we currently have to open the full File Save dialog to get? I don't want to waste time typing a name when the first few words of my document are *always* the correct file name for me.

Yes, you can set the default folder by right-clicking a folder on the list and choosing "Set as Default Location". 

Also, no save then move needed; you can choose the location to save to as part of the save process, just like before. It defaults to OneDrive or SharePoint, but you can choose a different folder (including local folders) during the save if you like.

MaryB Fair enough, and there are plenty of users who don't have a single default folder...but there are also a lot of users who do. :-) Important to remember that not all of our users are pro users.

We're definitely going to be watching the feedback and making adjustments where necessary. I appreciate you raising the issue that 5-6 frequently-used folders may not be enough. That's prompted some good discussion/thinking about if/how much we could increase that.
