    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:

    part of a document on autosave did not save the new part of a document 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: 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?

    Autosave documents in Word, Excel, Powerpoint

    My version (Office 365 Proplus latest) is offering Autosave only for documents on Onedrive, and there you have option to save versions.

    And check save options..

    But if Office is acting like this for you, you should send feedback to MS immediately. It's not what I would want to do from my favorite Office suite.


    Good practice would be, to first make a copy of document, and then start to edit it... but we all do like you described…
    Edit: sorry, another edit. There are additional saving options under Advanced. Maybe check "Always save backup" and disable saving in background:
