Default file save
Disable OneDrive as the default save location:
Step 1:
Open the Office application where you want to change the default save location and click on Options.
Step 2:
Switch to the Save tab. In the Save documents section, select the check box next to the 'Save to Computer by default' option. Under that option there is an input field where you can enter the default path of your choice. You can also set a new default location by clicking the Browse button to choose a location.
Once you have chosen your new default save location, click the OK button to save your changes.
Now, when you create a new document and try to save it by clicking the Save button or by using the Ctrl + S key combination your document should save to the new location you specified.
