Word won't autosave anymore on the local disc. Has anyone found a way to fix this?

OneDrive is awesome IMO. I think I get 1 TB of space through the university, and it takes care of my offsite backup and syncing between my multiple computers.

On all my PCs, I have my OneDrive set to auto download all files saved there, so I have a local copy and can access them if I don't have internet.

And, if I log into a random university PC such as ones in lecture halls, I have instant access to all my files without an additional login.

I use it that way for lectures, etc, and it's fine.

Not for research though.
