Microsoft will not allow you to enable the auto save feature unless the location is part of OneDrive.

You can manually save to a local store, but that is it.

There are some work around, but it shouldn’t be necessary in the first place.

The one drive folder is still a local folder as well. This meme is just stupid and ignorant.

It’s saved locally and automatically backed up.

You can view it offline and online.

  This is not accurate, files will sometines be set to “online only” automatically. I had 1 Tb of one drive storage for many years, when I decided to stop using it I had to download houndreds of gigabites of my own files (which took weeks as microslop throttles onedrive downloads)
  
  So many files may be on your system, but if you use it for long enough you’ll find many of your files are online only

    They are online only, only if you tell them to be, or they are from another machine/previous install. If you create a new file it isn’t set to online only.

  Except that word/excel refuse to let me enable “auto save” unless the file location is in a folder that is part of OneDrive.
  
  The only thing ignorant is your comment.

    That has zero to do with the topic: one drive files aren’t locally saved.

  It’s not the “is it on the local drive” that is the problem with OneDrive, now is it?
