Your Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward - gHacks Tech News

Microsoft Word documents will by default be saved to cloud storage going forward, and not to the local system.

Reminder: LibreOffice is a more than viable alternative.

Or even better, stop doing paper format documents on your computer. It creates data silos and often isn’t really accessible either. Who (except maybe governments) does still print stuff?

Organize your data relational. Tools like NocoDB or Baserow let you do this pretty easily and in a privacy friendly manner (self hosted).

      Yeah it does everything… but almost nothing well.

      We can have different opinions here, but I find “documentization” of data in this day and age not appropriate anymore.

    Microsoft is continuing to lose the plot, and it makes me happy to not use any of their services, save a forced Microsoft Account email for my Xbox. I use Linux and Libreoffice already, along with Filen for the few things that I might need a cloud for. If only people would just drop their services, and take a look at open source…Microsoft needs to pay the price for compromising the privacy of their users.
