I would like to ask why I have to have upload the document to clound for to enable the function of automatic saving of documents (excel, word, powerpoint, etc.).

Every day I work with several documents at one time and because the company policy the documents have to be stored at company server, because of the server backup and accesibility of other employes.

And so to think that every time you have to manually save your documnet after few minutes of work in 21st century is ridiculous and unbelievable. Yes of course there is backups when something happened, but open five or more backups and save them again into several folders is time consuming.

I am working in production so when somebody come that there is the problem I have to go and sometimes I forget to save docs, after then sometimes the work is lost.

Today all excel fall because I needed to change the size of graph, thank you very much than I had to opened 5 documents again.

Function of automatic saving needs to be changed like before, this side forcing to use cloud is highly unethic. And do not try reply again with some ridiculous excuses like "there is no other option" or "it has to be this way". This functionality was available before cloud. So it should be same way.

note: if you want to promote cloud so hard, so put the icon off/on next to automatic save.

It is 21st century for god sake so do not force me to use manual saving
