@Note, Thanks for posting in Q&A. After researching, I find the following Administrative Template files can configure default file location.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49030

But after testing, I find it only changes the default file location. The option 'Save to computer by default' is not selected.

Then I go to do more researching and checking, I find currently the setting is not included in Administrative Template files yet.

After do more deep researching and testing I find this can be set via registry key. We can set registry key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\General\PreferCloudSaveLocations to 0 to enable 'Save to computer by default". You can try.

Hope the above information can help.
