I recently downloaded Microsoft Powerpoint on my Mac. I found out that when I edit my presentation it will actually autosave it to cloud, just like the web app. It was working well for a while. But today I closed my window somehow hours of my progress was gone. Turns out that I ran out of the “free 5gb of storage” and I ran out of storage without noticing it, so it did not save. I’m never going for cloud EVER again. We all make mistakes, and this one taught me a lesson not to use cloud storage. BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP GUYS
No, poster is incorrect. It is bad design on Microsofts part to have such an issue.
If something cant be save, you, the user, should be notified at the time you click save. It ain’t rocket science and is fundamentally basic software design that should have been flagged up during the QA process that Microsoft no longer bother to employ.
