You can save locally by pressing the save icon, yes. But if you want it to autosave every 10 minutes it only allows you to use onedrive as a destination. Or else you are on one of the older versions of Word which still allowed local auto saving.
Well, “save” and “autosave” are two very different features.
Autosave, yes, that’s a OneDrive specific feature.
Which also has nothing to do with what the article is about - they’re talking about Cloud locations of the user’s choosing, which means it will try to default to things like DropBox or Filen just as much as OneDrive.
Right? People have such immensely weird notions about Office, Microsoft and telemetry, as if they stopped using computers in the 90s and then just read some rage-bait headlines for the last 35 years.
Actually it had auto save for more than a decade. It’s just that now they removed the ability to autosave locally, it must be to onedrive.
It didn’t remove anything, they’re just changing the default save location. You can revert it if you want, it’s all in the article…
You haven’t been able to autosave locally for many years already. Changing the default save location is just for when you press save.
WTF are you talking about, mate?
I’m using Office daily at work. I save data locally non-stop.
I swear to God, this community should be renamed from “Technology” to “Technologically Illiterate”…

Now go back and read the thread where I have been talking about autosave the whole time, which is also discussed in the article.
You’re right, my bad for misunderstanding.
No worries my dude.
This is extremely minor. I don’t understand the fuss.
