I have an empolyee signed into Microsoft 365 and using Office installed on Windows 10. When he tries to save a PowerPoint to the cloud so he can share it with a co-worker on the road he gets an error stating:

"https://<long url to the OneDrive save location>"
Path does not exist.
Please check the path and try again.

I have no idea why this error happens. At first I thought maybe you can't save to top-level so we created a folder called "Presentations" and then tried to save it there. It seems like the folder was created but the same error message displayed.
