Today, Microsoft revealed several updates to OneDrive and Copilot during a special event. One change coming to Word, though less prominently announced, could frustrate users who are hesitant to fully embrace OneDrive and cloud storage.
Microsoft announced that new Word documents created on Windows (for those in the Insider program) will now automatically save to OneDrive, and autosave will be turned on by default. This means any new Word document you start will be saved to your OneDrive account as you work on it.
As an analyst, I’ve been looking at the recent changes to Word, and it seems the main goal is to simplify how users save and access their files on different devices. While this should be convenient for most, I anticipate some users might be concerned about the new default setting where Word automatically uploads documents to the cloud. Interestingly, the process is so seamless that a lot of users probably won’t even realize anything has changed – it all happens automatically in the background.
As an analyst, I’ve been following the changes to Word, and a key update is how it handles saving documents. Previously, when you started a new document, it wasn’t automatically saved – you had to manually save it, often to OneDrive, to enable auto-save. Now, Word will automatically save all new documents to the cloud by default. Of course, if you prefer to save files manually or keep them strictly local, you’ll still have the option to turn this new auto-save feature off.
Beyond automatically saving Word documents to OneDrive, Microsoft has revealed several upcoming OneDrive enhancements. These include new features that integrate Copilot, making it simpler and faster to use AI for tasks like finding, managing, and editing your files and photos.
