PowerPoint for the web automatically saves your work to OneDrive, in the cloud.
(This kind of operation in Microsoft 365 is often called Save As, but in Microsoft 365 for the web apps it is Save a Copy or Download As.)
To save to another location (such as your computer or a USB thumb drive), or to save a copy, click a procedure heading below and follow the steps.
Select a heading below to open it and see the detailed instructions.
-
On the File tab of the Ribbon, select Create a copy, and then, on the panel of options that appears on the right, select Download a Copy.
-
A dialog box confirms that the copy is ready to be downloaded to your computer. Select Download to continue.
-
By default, the file is copied to the Downloads folder on your PC:
-
Your browser helps you complete the download of the file to your computer. How that looks, exactly, depends on which browser you're using.
This feature is only available to folks who have an Microsoft 365 work or school account.
(This feature isn't available if you're using Internet Explorer version 7.)
-
On the File tab of the ribbon, select Save a Copy.
-
On the Save a Copy panel that opens, select Save a Copy.
-
The default "save" location is the current folder where the original presentation is stored. If you accept that location, you must change the name specified in the Name box.
If you want to store the file in a different location, a name change isn't necessary. Select Save to another folder to change the folder where the file will be stored.
-
In the folder navigation dialog box, locate the folder you want, and then select Save.

Some non-Microsoft online services, such as Dropbox, don't offer the same Save options as Microsoft 365 for the web does. If you don't see one of the options described here, it's because your online storage system doesn't allow it. |
