    Fun fact, a few years ago Microsoft Word removed their auto-recovery (pseudo-autosave) feature, and rebranded it so that it’s ONLY available through their OneDrive service.

    If you write for an hour and your computer crashes, you’re shit out of luck (unless you have a really old version of Microsoft Word).

    To add insult to injury, Microsoft ran a disinformation campaign on their forums to convince people that they’d never had any kind of autosave feature.

      Uhh work excel which is fully updated still prompts me about “auto recovered” files (and not OneDrive)

      Unless it’s MS word specific you mean (I don’t use word a whole lot these days lol)
