Today I had hundreds of users, including me being admin, being furious beyond imagination for following change which the last "slow ring" office brought along:
You open a document from a network drive, my documents or desktop.
You click "save as", and instead of defaulting to the path where the original document came from it defaults to onedrive. Every time. The amount of tickets from users missing their files they just saved is enormous.
Since Winword 2.0 and Excel 3.0, both from 1991 where I used them the first time, the default of "save as" was always where the original file opened came from.
How can we restore this original behaviour? We do NOT want to be Save-AS defaulting to a fixed place, like "my documents", we want the original behaviour, which we had over 30 years now, back. Can this be achieved? If you know please tell. We have to keep OneDrive, as optional save to place, just not as the default for any document.
To us this is the single worst most expensive and time consuming change ever Microsoft has done to Office. On top it is a data protection law issue.
