I extremely don't want to save on my computer, though.
The problem with OneDrive isn't that it's a cloud service. I willingly use cloud services and other forms of remote storage all the time.
The problem with OneDrive is it doesn't work and MS's response to that is to try to embed it into the OS, rather than fix it. I have paid good money to do what OneDrive is trying to do, just properly.
One Drive works fine 98% of the time. But the 2% of the time it doesn't can make a huge mess. I've lost an entire days worth of work on an Excel workbook due to auto save issues and it's happened more than once. The last time it happened was the last straw. That's when I switched back to an SMB share.
Yeah, that's the problem with "works well 98% of the time". It's fine for a random bug in a videogame where maybe you clip into the floor a bit. When it comes to important files, "losing your work 2% of the time" is what you call not being functional.
Google Drive is a better solution, you save it to your hard drive, and it's also in the cloud automatically.
It is, which is insane, considering the lenghts to which MS goes to integrate OD right at the OS level.
Either way, as with all office software it's not generally up to you which one to use and I end up using both. It's just that OD has a much higher chance to randomly decide the project I've been working on for days has never existed.
