Where should you save a document in order to share it electronically?

Your files are saved online at OneDrive.com and also to your OneDrive folder on your computer. Storing files in your OneDrive folder allows you to work offline, in addition to online, and your changes are synchronized when you reconnect to the Internet. To learn more about OneDrive, see OneDrive.com

To save a file to OneDrive

1. With a document open in an Office program, click File > Save As > OneDrive.

   

2. If you haven’t signed in, do that now by clicking Sign In.

   Or if you haven’t signed up for a Microsoft account, click Sign up.

3. After you sign up or sign in, save your document to OneDrive.

Tip: To find your files later, just open the Office app you created the file in and check the Recent list. This works in desktop and mobile versions of the apps.

Does this sound painfully familiar? You email your coworkers a file. They add their feedback, and then you have to integrate comments and changes from 3 or 4 copies of your original.

There is another way. If you have an account on SharePoint or Microsoft OneDrive, you can store files, such as your Word documents, to one of those places, then use the Share command to let others read or edit your copy of the file. No more file pile, just one copy with everyone's feedback. (Exactly what they can do to your file depends on the permissions you give them).

Here's the process from start to finish. Skip ahead to the section you need.

Start by adding SharePoint or a OneDrive to your list of places in Word

1. In Word, click File > Save As > Add a place.

2. Under Add a place, click the service you want to use, like Office 365 SharePoint or OneDrive.

3. Complete the Sign in screen that appears for either service. You may need to contact your IT department for a user name and password.

   Once you're done, the new location appears on Word’s Save As pane.

Save to your new place and share

After you add a cloud storage location to your list of places, you can share your document. You only need to do this once per file.

1. Open the document you want to share.

2. Click File > Save As.

3. On the Save As page, double-click the location you want to use— your SharePoint document library, a location on your computer, your MySite, or your OneDrive.

4. Give the file a name and click Save. If this takes you back to the Info tab, click Share again.

5. Under Share with People (or, in Word 2013, Invite People), right-click the person you want to remove and click Remove User.
