Microsoft Office 2016 will save your documents to OneDrive by default. But, if you use Google Drive or Dropbox, you can save them to those services, too.
2019-12-2 A new way to access all of your Google Drive files on demand, directly from your Mac or PC, without using up all of your disk space. Microsoft Office 2016 will save your documents to OneDrive by default. But, if you use Google Drive or Dropbox, you can save them to those services, too. With Drive Enterprise, businesses only pay for the storage employees use. It comes with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides — and works seamlessly with Microsoft Office.
Microsoft Office 2016 provides a comprehensive set of tools built into the suite, this includes Cloud storage specifically targeting its OneDrive service by default. For many people, including myself, Dropbox remains my go-to online storage solution. Many other people use Google Drive or a combination of all three.
Here’s a look at how to add both Dropbox and Google Drive as Save Locations in Office 2016.
Google Drive with Microsoft
The first thing to do is download the free Google Drive plug-in for Microsoft Office.

Make Dropbox a Save Location
Unfortunately, there is no officially supported solution at this time for Dropbox as a storage location on the desktop or 365 versions. Office 2016 is still in Preview, but according to leaked documents, it’s set to launch September 22nd. Third-party scripts only support older versions of Office such as Office 2013. Dropbox has promised to provide support for Office 2016 later this year when the new version of the suite is generally available.
It’s worth noting that Office Online, which includes the web-based versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint does have native support for Dropbox as a Save Location. Launch Office Online, and in the lower right corner, under Open from OneDrive, select Add a place, and Dropbox will show up.
So until the desktop version gets Dropbox support, you will have to save Office files to your Dropbox folder manually by browsing to it or add it as a default Save location. Here is how you do that.
Please note, you need to have the Dropbox client installed, you can download that here.
Google Drive For Windows
Launch an Office application like Word, and head to File > Options.
Then go to Save and select the Browse button next to the Default local file location field.
