How to control where the file is saved in version 17? I am working in version 17. I started a new project directly from dashboard. In order to find the location that this file is saved, I tried using "save as" under File tab but it is not available. Then I tried "make a copy" under file tab. It made a copy but didn't provide the location that files are automatically saved. afterwards I checked preferences under edit tab. in there, under "General" section, under "folder" I found the address of Data folder where it saved the back up versions of my file under "Archives" folder. I copied the latest saved version into my desired location. My question is, did they eliminate the "save as" option under File tab? Is there a better way to find the location of the file and relocate it? or is there a way to designate the desired location upon creation of the file?

We use DropBox to save all of our files to the Cloud. And, we have remote users who help us with design work. It seems intuitive that there should be a way to centrally locate material files on DropBox, so that all the users in our office and our external draftsperson can share elements of a plan file, without having to manually backup files to a zip drive or create a calibz file to share among users/locations/computers. I can't even create a plan file on my desktop and pull that up in our conference room without losing reference files. Can't DropBox be used to centralize file storage and material files to we can avoid having to manually backup and move files around??? In my mind, this should be easy.... Can you please help. famous last words...
