Microsoft starts to automatically save .DOCX documents you are writing, every 5 seconds, to Microsoft Cloud (tm)

To use Word 365, you must use Microsoft account on internet. When using Microsoft account you are automatically assigned a Microsoft Cloud.

They will constantly upload a .DOCX file you are about to write into the cloud. Even when its not ready but just a sketch.

"Anything new you create will be saved automatically to OneDrive (cloud) or your preferred another cloud destination, it supports others than OneDrive as well", writes Raul Munitionz, product manager at Microsoft on the Office Shared Services and Experiences team.

He backs up the decision with half a dozen advantages for saving documents to the cloud.

>From never losing progress and access anywhere to easy collaboration and increased security and compliance.

While cloud saving is without doubt beneficial in some cases, he fails to address the elephant in the room. Some users may not want that their documents are stored in the cloud.

>There are good reasons for that, including privacy. Not all privacy is criminal.

Summed up:
- If you do not mind that Word documents are stored in the cloud, you do not need to become active.
- If you mind that Word documents are stored in the cloud by default, you need to modify the default setting. Everytime you update Widnows the settings get reset to default so you must be alert and change them back once an update has rolled out.
