    Office Documents in OneDrive AutoSave


    If I create an Office Document Word or Excel in OneDrive Personal Vault and select auto-save, the file .docx or .xlsx is saved in the Documents folder outside of the Personal Vault. Any changes made to the file located in Personal Vault are saved to Documents if auto-save is turned on.This appears to be a security issue with such files that are intended to be ONLY available in Personal Vault.

    :)

    Autosave not properly working for a Word document on OneDrive

    I have a Word document saved in the OneDrive folder to allow autosave. But each time I open the document autosave is off again, and switching it on I get the message:

    Office Documents in OneDrive AutoSave 261636d1577979060t-autosave-not-properly-working-word-document-onedrive-2020-01-02_16-26-17.png

    Clicking that my document gets saved in the same folder, but with a new name: "document (1).docx". When I check on onedrive.live.com I see that both the original and the new "(1)" are there.
    However, when I reopen either of them autosave is off again. And when I switch it on I get the above message again.
    In the save options "autosave onedrive files by default" is checked.

    Is there a way to fix this? I already tried cursing Microsoft for some 10 minutes, but that didn't help. Any other solutions?
    TIA

    OneDrive has bugs. The autosave sometimes does not work correctly. Just make a small change in the document to re-activate the autosave.

    Office Documents in OneDrive AutoSave

    OneDrive: AutoSave does not save Documents directory to cloud

    I have the following directory structure:

    • C:\Users\MyName\Documents
    • C:\Users\MyName\OneDrive

    In my OneDrive Autosave settings I have selected "OneDrive" in the "Choose where you want to save your documents and pictures" setting for Documents

    By my understanding, I thought this would mean that anything I save in my C:\Users\MyName\Documents folder would automatically be synched up to my OneDrive?

    However, I do not see this occurring. Therefore, I'm wondering what may be going wrong here? Am I understanding this feature correctly?
