User Data Folder Location
Jul 09, 2015 Hi all, I am trying to install the Mendeley (reference manager) plugin in the new Word preview for Mac OSX. However Mendeley (and I) can not find the Microsoft User Data folder, which is apparently needed to do this and usually located in the Documents folder. Outlook for Mac search returns 'No Results,' and task items are not displayed. The Microsoft User Data folder is not located under the /Documents folder. Outlook for Mac 2011: Make sure that the Microsoft User Data folder is stored under the /Documents folder.

How To Find Microsoft User Data Folder Mac
To move your Microsoft User Data folder out of the Documents folder follow these instructions:
1) Quit all open Microsoft Applications
2) Open a new window and navigate to /Users/<<UserName>>/Documents
3) Open another new window and in this window navigate to /Users/<<UserName>>/Library/Preferences
4) Drag the Microsoft User Data folder from your documents folder into the Preferences folder
You can now reopen all your Microsoft applications and they will automatically detect the Microsoft User Data folder has been moved into Preferences.
Having the Microsoft User Data folder in the Preferences folder makes it less likely to be accidentally deleted when a user is clearing out their documents folder.
(A Microsoft User Data folder will still be created in Documents if you are Using Microsoft Messenger for Mac. From what I can tell this doesn't contain any useful information at all. Please advise if I am wrong about this.)
