Autosave is on by default for documents stored in OneDrive.
-
Changes are saved automatically as you work, so you don't need to manually save.
-
Because Autosave is continuous, you can recover previous versions if needed using Version History.
-
OneDrive automatically manages whether files are stored locally or only in the cloud to save space.
-
Files stored only in the cloud don’t take up space on your hard drive and can be accessed anytime you’re online.
-
You can always download cloud-only files if you need offline access.
-
Look for the sync icons in File Explorer or Finder:
- Green checkmark → file is stored locally and in the cloud.
- Cloud icon → file is cloud-only.
-
Your company's M365 settings may or may not allow sharing of files/folders outside your organization.
-
If external sharing is allowed, share by right-clicking and choosing Share.
-
External recipients do not need a Microsoft 365 account to view or edit (depending on your sharing settings).
-
Always double-check that you are sharing the correct file or folder to avoid accidental exposure.
