    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”…

        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.

            Now go back and read the thread where I have been talking about autosave the whole time, which is also discussed in the article.
