Surely this is a minor problem with an easy solution: choose "Save As..." from the menu, then select a folder on your local drive.

My God, THANK YOU! I've seen this article in five different places and everyone is losing their minds over this, seemingly completely oblivious to the fact that:

  1. This ONLY affects people who are using OneDrive in the first place.
  2. It's a setting that you can change any time.
  3. If you want to keep the default but have a specific file outside of OneDrive just - exactly like you said - click "Save As" and store it locally.

It's mind boggling how much people switch off their brains whenever they see Microsoft doing literally anything, and the entire conversation devolves into "Microsoft bad".
