The Recent list shows the files that you opened recently from any of your devices. If this list gets unwieldy, you can remove files from it. Just right-click the file name and then pick “Remove from list." You can make other changes to the Recent list. If you do not use the list of recent files, and you had instead jumped straight into browsing folders, use Ctrl+F12 to open the Open dialog box directly.

To access files from your Office 365 Groups or SharePoint Online document libraries click the Sites- Your Company link. You will get a list of your frequently Groups and Sites to select them. Pick the one you want and browse to the file you want to open. Double-click computer to get to open files, including removable flash drives. You can also select one of the locations your accounts let you get to, sign in if necessary, and then open files you want. Click Add a Place to add a new location.

If you have a document on your computer, but you are not sure precisely what folder it save it, you can find it as long as you know at least part of the name or a bit of text that is in the document. Click the Browse button at the bottom of the places list on the left. When the Open dialog box appears, type the text you want to search for in the Search box at the top right and press enter. A list of matching documents will look for you to choose.
