Hello slstewart249
There isn't a way for Dropbox to do this but as I understand it there is an auto-save feature in Microsoft Excel. I believe most versions have this. Take a look at this article https://support.office.com/en-us/article/use-autosave-and-autorecover-to-help-protect-your-files-in-case-of-a-crash-551c29b1-6a4b-4415-a3ff-a80415b92f99

Hopes this helps
HI, I am also having trouble with this part. I am running Word 2011. I have word => preferences => save (but other than changing the number of minutes before autosaving, there is no section on choosing the folder to save to) - any help much appreciated

You really should ask this on a Microsoft forum as it's their application and feature, and they would know how to best assist you. My best guess though is that since you're on a Mac, the feature works differently than is does on Windows. You need to ask Microsoft.
