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)

    I can confirm. It is a shame that such big company can't solve the problem. I checked it on 3 different laptops including one completely new so with new profile etc. Everywhere the same issue. Microsoft its time to do something with this. We pay a lot as a company for Office 365 and can not use basic function which is working in the cloud.

    It's a shame! This issue is unsolved since October 2019! Everyone I know using MacOS and MS Office has this problem.

    Hi Milton,

    Really sorry to hear this issue is still bothering you, have you tried the new user profile method I mentioned previously? Please check if it's working on  your side.

    Set up users, guests and groups on Mac
