Microsoft's accouncement: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoft365insider...

Word has defaulted to saving in OneDrive (if you turn on autosave and you're signed into an MS account) for years now, I think since the Office 2016 > Office 365 update. The only real change I see is that the document will now be given a name with the date instead of just 'Document 1'. Maybe it's a little more aggressive about turning on autosave for you? The autorecover location is still in appdata.

And you can change default save location in settings. The main change is that clicking new now automatically saves.

In my 10 years using this website daily i am yet to see a microsoft related thread and comments that is not fud, misinformation or straight lies

Microsoft does it to themselves by making poor announcements and making Windows more and more opaque about simple things like “where is this file”?

That’s because Microsoft has a much bigger platform and many more employees that the big picture gets lost quite frequently.

I as a user know more about their products than any three to four of their employees do combined.

That you can disable it does not make any of the claims of default cloud upload FUD but a fact.
