Integrate Dropbox or Google Drive as a storage location
Cloud services such as Dropbox or Google Drive can also be integrated into your system as a storage location. You can then find them easily in the »Save« dialog. You can save documents from Word, Excel or PowerPoint directly in the Dropbox or in Google Drive.
Integrate cloud services as a storage location using the PowerShell script
The PowerShell script "Create_Shortcuts.ps1" can be obtained from the Microsoft Technet Gallery. It is best to save the file on the desktop of your computer so that you can quickly access it later.
- Now type "powershell" in the search field of the start menu, right-click on the program shown and select "Run as administrator".
- Confirm the user account control with »Yes«.
- Now load the script with the command "Import-Module C: \ data \ Create_ Shortcuts.ps1", whereby you have to enter the complete path to the script.
- Now start the »New Savelocation« function by entering this name. The script determines whether the folders for Dropbox and Google Drive already exist in your own profile and reads them in automatically. If the folders are integrated differently, you have to enter them manually.
- The script then enters all the necessary values in the registry and reports success or errors that have occurred. The additional entries are in the registry in the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Micro soft \ Office \ Common \ CloudStorage". Basically, you can also make or change the entries there manually.
- Then close the PowerShell and restart the system.
Now open an Office program and in it the command »File | Account". Under "Connected Services" click on "Add Service". In addition to "Storage", the "Dropbox" and "Google Drive" are now available depending on the setting.
