Looks like #Microsoft Word is taking another step (after oh-so-many) to new depths of depravity. Your Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward

Even if you're not up to the full move of jumping to #Linux, at least get #LibreOffice and use Writer instead. Its a word processing program that works 𝘧𝘰𝘳 you, not against. #opensource is the way forward, not this nonsense

Agreed, perhaps look in to using a nextcloud service too e.g Disroot, for some of your documents saved to the cloud, which is still useful if you are on the move, want to share between devices or want to share with colleagues.

With the nextcloud client here, it saves to a local folder which syncs to the remote server, and other devices connected. So you are NOT saving diskspace as such, but anything saved in that linked folder is synced. If that makes sense, same goes for items deleted.
