If Microsoft Word ever crashes or you experience a system crash while you have an MS Word document open you can likely recover most if not all of your document through the auto-recovery copy that the app saves regularly. In most cases, this will always save you when something goes wrong. If you\u2019re however looking to be extra safe for when Murphy\u2019s law kicks in a night before something important is due, you should consider changing the MS Word auto recovery folder\u2019s location to a cloud drive. You can use just about any service that has a desktop app and syncs files to the cloud. Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive are all great options. Here\u2019s how to change the Auto Recovery folder\u2019s location.<\/p>\n

Open MS Word and go to File>Options. Go to the Save tab and\u00a0look for the \u2018AutoRecover file location\u2019 field. Click browse and select a folder that is located inside your Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive folder.<\/p>\n

The added advantage of having MS Word save the auto recovery file to a cloud drive is that it\u2019s backed up to more than one location i.e., it\u2019s saved to a local drive and it\u2019s also synced to cloud storage. With some cloud storage services, you can even take advantage of the file restore feature to get\u00a0recovered files once they\u2019ve been removed by MS Word itself. In the event of disk failure, you don\u2019t necessarily risk document loss and you can resume working on the document by accessing the recovered file on a different device or system.<\/p>\n

You can change the auto recovery file location for just about any MS Office app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
