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 All,

    We are still working with our internal resources on this issue, but unfortunately, so far there was no updates on this issue.

    Really sorry about all the inconvenience caused by this issue.

    Regards,

    Hi everyone,

    It is true that there has not been updates so far about this issue but for me, Office Apps in Mac are working fine with Catalina, at the beginning I had the same issue but then it fixes apparently without doing anything. However I have in my Preference Settings activated the option to give each app full disk access permissions. I hope this fix somebody's problems.
