When working in a Microsoft Office desktop app such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, you can create and save your files to your own OneDrive, your OneDrive for work or school, SharePoint, or (if you have their permission & credentials) somebody else's OneDrive.
To open and save files to Microsoft OneDrive from Excel, PowerPoint, or Word, you need to add OneDrive as a connected service.
- Open your Microsoft 365 app.
- Go to File then Account.
- Select Add a service then Storage.
- Choose OneDrive.
- Complete the sign-in steps for the account you are trying to add.
