    One Drive support is terrible... seems to be limited to 1 email response per day.


    SO WHY DOES MICROSOFT PUSH THIS SERVICE BY SETTING IT AS DEFAULT FILE SAVE LOCATION FOR OFFICE? rhetorical


    Microsoft Store sales team does not inform anyone of this PRIOR TO PURCHASE and even today are still selling Microsoft 365 as FULLY being covered by telephone support.


    Seems like the only solution for me at this time is to disable OneDrive from Start Up and manually upload 5 computer's files to it through a web browse.

    Recent (Save Files) - Change Default Settings to OneDrive

    Recent (Save Files) - Change Default Settings

    I am trying to save my files to OneDrive as a default. It has always worked as my default. For some reason, the default save location is now Recent. Something caused it to change. All default locations settings in Word Options, my computer and OneDrive settings are set to save to OneDrive. It appears my computer does not recognize these default settings.

    Do you have any suggestions how I can have my default locations for files change back to OneDrive?

    I use Windows 10. My computer is Dell XPS 8910.

    See Screenshots. Screenshot with Recent highlighted shows my current default location as Recent. OneDrive should be highlighted.

    Also, I reinstalled Microsoft Office.

    Not able to change default save location to OneDrive


    I have a clean install of windows 10 Pro (Build 10240) 64bit.
    Before clean install, my default save location was set to OneDrive. That's what I want.
    After clean install, USB created from Media Creation Tool, I cannot change default save location from PC to OneDrive
    I want the default set to OneDrive but the option is not available in Settings, System, Storage. Only option available is This PC.

    Please help...Thanks

    Doug
