  You haven’t been able to autosave locally for many years already.

    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”…

      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.

        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.

  This is extremely minor. I don’t understand the fuss.

    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.
