How can I put a copy of an Office 365 document into Dropbox?

[dchestney]

I am new to Office 365, and I have always used Save As (and selected Dropbox as the location) to (1) put a COPY of a Word or Excel document into Dropbox, keeping the original of the document where I created it.  And I used Save As to (2) update when the document has been edited.  It doesn’t seem to work that way in Office 365.  Where can I find step-by-step directions for doing both of those things?

Hi @dchestney, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Could you clarify exactly what issue you're experiencing? As you not seeing the save option in Office 365?

Are the files being saved in the Dropbox folder, but they're not appearing there?

Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!

In the older version of Office Save As included Dropbox as  possible location where to put the document, but that does not seem to happen in the 365 version.  Also, when I managed (somehow) to put a document into Dropbox, it MOVED the document there rather than putting a COPY of the document there—so that document is no longer in its original folder, and I can’t update it. I want to know how to Save As a COPY of a saved document into Dropbox while retaining the original where it is.
