Im having a look at Office 365 Sharepoint Cloud File Storage .

I setup a team site & added some test files & folders.

Whats wanted is cloud storage of all company docs , so using 'cloud' rather than a local server/NAS
The 'team storage' would need to be the default storage in word/excel etc , so that docs arnt accidently saved locally etc.

In Word365 (online version of word) , there is no option to set "Team Storage" as a default storage option, or even add "team Storge" as
a file storage ~place~ .
Can I disable Onedrive storage for all users, to ensure that files are NOT saved there

Any general advice on making 365 Sharepoint file store the default & easily accessable in word/excell etc ?

The business sharepoint/onedrive has a number of challenges. A lot of people have sync issues with it which aren't resolvable. If you have a marginal speed internet connection and a few people running it then it's likely you will have problems.

+1 for this. Actually +100 for this. The online storage is fine, but the sync to desktops is not robust and not reliable. Improvements have been promised for over 12 months but we have yet to see them. If you were working 100% online via web apps you would not be affected by this issue.

Ah, the usual issues with offline files buggyness I guess ??
Thats caused a few headaches in the past, ideally I'd love to avoid it

Thanks
