How to Change Excel Save Location?

You can change the default save location in Excel through the Options menu.

Here's how to do it:

1. Open Excel: Launch the Excel application.

2. Access the Options Menu:

   • Click on the File tab in the upper left corner.
   • Select Options from the menu that appears.

3. Navigate to the Save Settings:

   • In the Excel Options dialog box, click on Save in the left-hand pane.

4. Modify Save Settings:

   • Save to Computer by default: Check this box if you want Excel to always save files to your computer first, rather than OneDrive or SharePoint.
   • Default local file location: In the text box, enter the desired folder path. You can also click the Browse button to navigate to the folder you want to use as the default save location.

5. Confirm Changes: Click OK to save the changes and close the Excel Options dialog box.

Now, when you save a new Excel file (File > Save As), the default location will be the folder you specified.
