Use OneDrive with Office

You can quickly open and save OneDrive documents right from your Office apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. If you also have the OneDrive desktop app installed on your PC (some editions of Office come with the OneDrive desktop app), OneDrive and Office work together to sync documents and let you work with other people on shared documents at the same time.

To save Office documents to OneDrive:

1. Sign in to OneDrive when you install Office, or right from any Office app. Select Sign in in the upper-right corner of the app, and then enter your Microsoft account email address and password.

2. Open the document you want to save to OneDrive, select File > Save As, choose your OneDrive, and then choose the folder where you want to save the file.
