How to Change Your Default Save Location

For free training videos, visit the Trainer Lori YouTube channel!


1.In any Microsoft Office program (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.), click File, Options.

2.Click the Save tab.

3.Under Save documents, in the Default file locations, click Browse. This opens the Modify Location window.

4.Best Practice: If your OneDrive on SharePoint is synced to your C: drive, use that location to save your documents.  This is the only non-network location that can protect your information if your computer is damaged, lost or stolen.

5.Once the folder name is selected, click Ok. This closes  your Modify Location window.

6.Back in the Word Options window, click OK.

7.When saving a document, the save location now automatically goes to the new location.
