[dba-Tech] Word Online question

[John R Bartow]

If you have an Office 365 account it should save it to your OneDrive by
default. 

I just went and checked because lord knows what these cloud based services
do day to day anymore but I did not have to have ad Dropbox account. It did
present a screen with some offers and info but I just went past that and all
worked as it should. 

Just open a new Word doc and save it as a "test". Then go to your OneDrive
folder and it will be there.

Nope. Dropbox. After a bit of research, this seems to be forced -- nothing
we can do about it yet.

Do you mean OneDrive?

When I try to open a blank Word document in Word Online I am forced to sign
into Dropbox - I don't currently have an account and don't want one - but I
can't figure a way around this. So, I guess if you want to create new
documents in Word Online, you must sync with Dropbox? I have a SharePoint
site setup with my 365 subscription. Why can't I just save the new file
there?
