[Solved] Installation folder on OneDrive

Post by MoH1818 »

I started installing OpenOffice on a new Windows 11 PC. The default folder for unpacking and saving the installation files is C:\Users\myname\OneDrive\Desktop\OpenOffice 4.1.15 (en-US) Installation Files

I feel like I'm over my head in trying to get Windows 11 to stop putting everything in OneDrive, which I thought I'd unlinked and deleted. Can I unpack and save the installation files to C:\Users\myname ? Would there be a better place for them?

Any guidance would be very much appreciated!

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Anyway, these files are to be removed after installation. But if there is any real time synchronizing, it is a waste of bandwidth. In such case, indeed, try a local folder.

Please add [Solved] at the beginning of the title in your first post (top of the topic) with the button if your issue has been fixed.
LibreOffice 25.2 on Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE Faye) and 24.8 portable on Windows 11.
