Four methods for working around Office 365's AutoSave feature - TechRepublic
- "Unfortunately, and frankly inexplicably, Microsoft decided to make the AutoSave feature not only automatic, but also permanently on. There is no option to turn it off—if you open a document residing on OneDrive and make any change to it at all, the old version of the document is gone and you are left with the current version, complete with a new timestamp."
- Method 1: Don't use OneDrive
- Method 2: Copy to PC, then save to OneDrive with a new name
- Method 3: Save a copy
- Method 4: Turn AutoSave off each time you open the document
- Method 5: Password protect the file (after you have finished editing it), then edit a copy of it next time.

    "Cannot move the item. The set of folders cannot be opened."
    This error appears sometimes when I try to move a message to another folder.
    I exit Outlook, restart Outlook, and then everything seems OK. But the problem reappears later.
    
    This error usually occurs if the OST or PST file you are using is:
    - Unavailable.
    - Protected with file permissions.
    - On a share on a server and the network is down.
    - Corrupt.
    
    To correct this problem, store the OST or PST file on the local computer.
    You may also want to run the scanost.exe and scanpst.exe tools to verify file integrity.
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\SCANPST.exe

- OST = offline file folder for MS-Exchange only (not for IMAP) = Offline Storage Table
