==Storing Files locally (Word, PowerPoint, Excel)==

Since the ~~intruduction~~ of Office 365, saving files locally gets more and more ~~difficuld~~ to execute. ~~Back in~~ the ~~days of Office 201X, you'd~~ get the expected saving dialog with a pop-up to browse ~~your~~ computer and choose ~~your~~ file storage location. This is now multiple clicks away ~~and~~ it~~'s easier~~ to ~~store something~~ on OneDrive ~~since~~ Microsoft ~~likes to push you to use its~~' cloud service.

Since the introduction of Office 365, saving files locally gets more and more difficult to execute. Previously, the user would get the expected saving dialog with a pop-up to browse their computer and choose a file storage location. This is now multiple clicks away, making it harder to avoid saving the file on OneDrive, Microsoft's cloud service.

To ~~midigate~~ this somewhat, you can go into options -> saving and there set the check mark on "save locally as default". It still takes multiple clicks to save a file, but the cloud options are at least a bit less intrusive.

~~==Outlook 365==~~

~~===Issues with email adresses that stem from Microsoft===~~

In the current version of Outlook (and for about 1 year now), *@hotmail.com adresses cannot simply be added to your existing outlook configuration. It will sync once and then pop up a dialog asking you to sign into microsoft for "authentification". If you don't allow this sign-in, the synchronization will not work claiming an authentification problem. It is obvious however that microsoft just wants to link your (other) mail adresses (that originated from microsoft) to your account to collect more data. This is especially sneaky because at no point you're made aware that this has nothing to do with your mail account but simply with microsoft wanting to link your accounts.
