Hello-
BACKGROUND: We recently upgraded our Office 2007 on our desktops which had only the Exchange Online to Office 365 Business Premium (which has the Office 2013 on the desktops). We are a small business here and don't intend to get into using the Office 365/Cloud/Online products, only intend to use the Office 2013 on their desktops. We also do not have DirSync or Azure configured yet. I do make sure to have my users Active Directory password match what is in their Office 365's mail password so that I can get their Office 2013 desktop software set up properly.
So, now to my questions: In my Office 2013 when I go to File>Options>Save it shows the following:
Default file location: [our company domain server]user$LoriMy Documents
Server drafts location [our company domain server]user$LoriMy DocumentsSharePoint Drafts
A copy of open excel file is stored in TEMP folder which is 'documents and settings user local settings temp' folder. The name of file. Jul 12, 2017 - That said, if you do run into a problem with an unsaved Office file, here's. Identical in other Office 2016 applications like Excel and PowerPoint.
I'm confused by the two locations given above that seem to have auto-filled in. Although they appear to be areas located on our company's server, do these areas have something to do with the 'cloud'/Office 365 of our Office 2013 installs? Especially, seeing the 'SharePoint Drafts leads me to believe these areas work with the Cloud/Online version of SharePoint or other apps out in the cloud that are part of my Office 365?
Since we only need/want our users to work from their Office 2013 and not work online I'm not sure if I should/could change these locations to better fit our needs? For example, all our users share files out on our G: drive, so am I okay to change their default file location to our G: drive and what should I change the 'Server drafts location' to (our shared G: Drive or should it be on their local/C: drive' for better performance or ?
Thank you,
Lori
