A useful way to save time is to keep a short list of folders you use often. You can choose a default location and pin frequently used folders so they’re easy to find when you save a file.
By default, files may be saved to your recent or cloud locations. You can select a different default location and pin folders for quick access.
Try it
-
In an unsaved file, select the Save icon on the Quick Access Toolbar or press CTRL+S to open the Save this file dialog box.
-
In the Save this File dialog box, you can do the following:
-
Choose from Recent or select More locations or More options to browse to a folder.
-
Select the context menu () at the right side of a folder (or right-click the folder) and, from the menu, select Set As Default Location to make it the default folder for future saves.
-
To pin other folders to the list for quick access, hover over the folder name and select the pin. You can pin multiple folders.
The next time you see the Save this file dialog box, your default folder is selected and your pinned folders are easy to find.
