# Microsoft is making Word automatically save new documents to OneDrive by default

LibreOffice Writer doesn't.

And it is free.

And really rather good.

@tezoatlipoca @neil They made us do this at work, about 2 years ago. It's much worse than you imagine.

I now have a new reason to power cycle my computer: "One Drive can't find the One Drive folder" So I opened that folder to find all my data still present and accounted for. I grabbed a screenshot of the error and that window, mostly for laughs.

Which is all Windows is good for: to laugh at.

People pay *money* for this crap?
