Cool It finally gets Google docs core functionality after only 20 years. How innovative.

Actually it had auto save for more than a decade. It's just that now they removed the ability to autosave locally, it must be to onedrive.

It didn't remove anything, they're just changing the default save location. You can revert it if you want, it's all in the article...

You haven't been able to autosave locally for many years already. Changing the default save location is just for when you press save.

This is extremely minor. I don’t understand the fuss.
