Saving your files in the cloud has lots of advantages, but most applications still save files to your Documents folder by default. You can, of course, manually select a folder that syncs to the cloud, but why not take out the extra step and automatically save those files to Dropbox or Google Drive?
Our friends at the How-To Geek offer some solutions to this problem, and while they're all a little workaround-y, they do work. Your options are:
- Moving Windows' default folders (Documents, Music, etc.) into your Dropbox or Google Drive folder
- Add your Dropbox or Google Drive folder to Windows' libraries
- Change the default save location in programs that support it (like Office 2013)
