Add Places in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac

While you can open and save files from any file location you access on your computer or network, you can also add more places from where you can open and save files. You see options to add a place, also known as Online Locations in both the Open and Save As dialog boxes, as shown highlighted in red within Figures 1 and 2, below.

By default, your OneDrive location is already available as a place, only if you have signed in. But you can add more places too, as we shall explore in this tutorial.

Follow these steps to learn how you can add a place in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac:

1. First, access the File menu, and choose the Open option to bring up the dialog box, as shown in Figure 1, above. Click the Add a Place option, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 1. Doing so brings up the Add a Place dialog, as shown in Figure 3, below.

2. You can choose to add a OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, or Office 365 SharePoint location as a place. The former OneDrive option is suitable for those who want to add another Microsoft Account, whereas the latter two options are for those who have business subscriptions to an Office 365 or Microsoft 365 account.
3. Let's choose the OneDrive option, and we will summon the Add a Service dialog box, as shown in Figure 4, below. Enter your email address, followed by your password in the subsequent screen, and proceed. You can similarly add Office 365 SharePoint and OneDrive for Business locations.
