Autosave Option Disabled - Office Mac

Anonymous

All my files are saved on OneDrive folder (which is synced). When I open a word file from my OneDrive folder, the option to AutoSave is disabled and I can see a msg "Saved on your Mac". How is that, if it is on Onedrive and syncing ??? I have, then, to save a new copy, select Save Online, chose the SAME FOLDER, chose another name, and then, the Autosave option is enabled. Does anyone know how to solve it?

I found the autosave function of my office 365 works again today.

I did nothing except keeping my office 365 up to date in "insider slow" channel.

mac OS: 10.15.1

onedrive: 19.222.1110.0004(Standalone)

office 365: 16.33(19120401)

    Hi Alex,

    Unfortunately, 16.33 is not the fix that everyone is waiting for.

    This issue persists in my App Store installations of Word, Excel and PowerPoint 16.33.

    Just a thought: I wonder if this can be a bug on OneDrive's client, since all office products are affected.  Maybe OneDrive is omitting some metadata that identifies files originating from OneDrive?  Just a suggestion, of course, since I do not know how all these work.

    Hope that a fix will be coming soon, and many thanks for your help!

    Thank God I am not the only one. For a moment I thought I was the crazy and stupid guy with an unsolved problem after some random guys had come here saying that the issue was finally solved and Microsoft was celebrating. Phewww
