    You know how many times I’ve had to tell someone that document they created and have been working on for days was never saved even once and can’t really be recovered?

      I remember this. From the 90’s.

      Autosave has existed AND been the default so long that taking it for granted is now actually okay.

      This is not related cloud storage or corporates spying on users. It’s just autosave. That’s all it takes.

          I really hope they are incredibly good at a very specific thing that has nothing to do with where tf are their files.

              Presumably it’s selling snake oil and convincing people to trust them?

        That’s what they changed. It’s saved to onedrive by default now.

          Right, I’m saying that the users too incompetent to save a word doc will be incompetent to find the new save location
