Disable OneDrive as a save location in Word/Excel/Powerpoint for Mac

Is it possible to turn off or somehow disable OneDrive as a save location when signing in to Word, Powerpoint or Excel 365 apps? I have Office 365 A3 for faculty assigned to a group in Azure, is it possible to turn that feature of there or is it done somewhere else?

That could be an option, but it is real easy to change location back to Onedrive for a user, I do not want them to have that option.

Hi @ITFA-2819,
What version number of Office did you use?
As the thread's comment it is resolved in 16.12 update:

I also suggest you refer to these links about default location in Office for Mac:

I also tested in both Office for Windows and Mac, I can find the option "Save to Computer default" in Office for Windows, but it's not existed in Office for Mac:
