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

    I deal with a few family friends who have Mac and use Office. And they cannot grasp this.

    Takes hours of training to explain that they have to click the offline save button, inside the save panel, to not get lost on a OneDrive.

      You’re right… I was actually going to hit the offline save button, but it said it’s already saved and synced with the cloud, so I thought I was fine. However, it wasn’t saved to the cloud due to lack of space in onedrive and they never told me about that.
