Create folder option for SharePoint or OneDrive from within Office

Hi

 

Do you know if there are any plans to allow users to create a new folder on a SharePoint site when saving from within Word?

 

You can achieve this on OneDrive for business by clicking "More options" and using the dialog which appears to create a new folder, but unfortunately this option doesn't work for SharePoint.

 

It would help us with adoption, as users currently have to load the document library in a browser, and create the folder.

 

thanks

      Hi

       

      Thanks for that - I'd not spotted that. I've voted for the suggestion on UserVoice.
