[dba-Tech] Word Online question

[John R Bartow]

I have a Dropbox account too. 

At one time there was some integration (I think it was an app) between
OneDrive and Dropbox so maybe your parent company has that going? In any
case, it really doesn't matter where its saved, as long as you know how to
find it, correct? The functionality of the apps would be the same.

With my sub, I have a free Dropdown account -- I think this is specific to
my enterprise sub.

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?
