We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

What a weird all-or-nothing lesson to take from this. No, cloud saving is excellent. You just have to know what you're working with.
The real lesson is to not just assume anything's saved. Verify it's saved.
yeah, you're probably right. I was just a bit upset that this happened
guess I'll focus on making sure everything's saved.
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.

That’s why I hate the push towards cloud services.
