Change the location in the File > Save dialog when you save a file.
If your File > Save dialog looks like the following, click the "On My Mac" button to allow you to change the location to a folder on your Mac.
Once you have changed that, future use of the save dialog should automatically default to on your Mac until such time as you change it back to online locations.
You can then select and existing folder on your Mac to save it to by using the field shown by the top red arrow (or select a folder in the sidebar) or you can create a new folder on your Mac by clicking where the bottom red arrow is pointing.
I may be able to help if you post a screenshot of your save dialog window.
Take a screenshot and then upload it to the forum by using the image insertion button at the bottom of the Reply dialog in this forum.
the "on my Mac" does not show up when I click file and then save. I am trying to move documents away from the cloud (do not want to pay a bunch for that storage when I have room on my hard drive). when I click file and then save, it goes to the default.can you help me?
