Sharing Workbooks

[lindam365]

I know shared workbooks are shared with a link but where can editors locate the shared file? Is it permanently stored in their drives on their desktops?

I don't think there's one answer to this. For example, when I've worked with a shared Excel workbook, the workbook has been stored most commonly on Microsoft's cloud server, known as OneDrive, in a folder to which all the authorized users have been granted access.

Some will use Google Drive.

Dropbox.

So it's usually not a "link" per se, but rather a matter of shared access to a common location.

Do you know if this location can be on a desktop drive or does it have to be on the onedrive browser?

If you are using the OneDrive service, it appears on your desktop/laptop as another directory or folder. It just so happens that the files in it are actually "in the cloud."  And you can also access such files via a browser.
