Windows 10: Win 11 file save function, save to local disk

Just installed Win 11...seems to be cloud based storage by default. Saving a file locally entails long string of clicks to get down to my desired folder. Am I missing something?File Explore shows red x's on multiple folders...meaning my cloud storage is full.

:)

 

Saving files locally only?

OK, thank you for clarifying that for me, Henry. There is a way to save a Word/Excel file online to your computer.

1. Click on File on the upper left-hand corner.
2. Click on Save As.
3. Click on Download a Copy.

This option would allow you to save the file locally onto your computer. However, the word/excel file will still automatically save to your OneDrive, but you can discard it once the file is onto your computer. I hope this helps. Please let me know if this works for you.

 

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.
