Automatically save a Word file to OneDrive

When it comes to managing documents, Word is undoubtedly one of the best options and most used by the millions of users who use it every day to manage different information and data. Word is part of the Office suite and gives us a set of functional options so that working with the text is as complete as possible, which is why numerous functions are integrated with each update..

 

 

When we work in Word in any of its editions, we usually save the work locally, but thanks to OneDrive (also available in the Office suite), it is possible to save the Word file there and automatically any changes are stored.

 

We will also have the files from anywhere we have access to OneDrive allowing its availability..
