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.

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.


Name: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\General
Value Name: PreferCloudSaveLocations
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: <0>

IMPORTANT: The above registry key setting PreferCloudSaveLocations is common for all the Office applications. The value for PreferCloudSaveLocations should be set to 0. If the value is set to 1 then the custom save location will be ignored and saves will once again default to OneDrive.
