I recently downloaded Microsoft Powerpoint on my Mac. I found out that when I edit my presentation it will actually autosave it to cloud, just like the web app. It was working well for a while. But today I closed my window somehow hours of my progress was gone. Turns out that I ran out of the “free 5gb of storage” and I ran out of storage without noticing it, so it did not save. I’m never going for cloud EVER again. We all make mistakes, and this one taught me a lesson not to use cloud storage. BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP GUYS
Its mainly because Office now defaults its save location to Onedrive. The only real benefit I get is the auto save every 3 seconds. Other than that, I always try and point it to local. However, at work we’re migrating to sharepoint so eventually Onedrive save will always be encouraged.
