Hi, fellow lounger,

Microsoft 365 can store Word, Excel, or Powerpoint files online, but not Windows, other programs, or settings.

• You must be logged into Microsoft 365 to activate it, and I don’t know if older versions of Office like Office 2016 can autosave.
• You must store the files in OneDrive, not locally in Documents.  If the Documents directory is inside the OneDrive directory, you are doing so.
• On my Mac, I have to slide AutoSave ON for each document.  Dang it.
