If you use Microsoft Word, save your documents to OneDrive and turn on AutoSave. On a Mac, just press Cmd + S to save in most apps. Second, build a habit of manually saving your documents as often as possible. Compared to existing on just your Mac's hard drive, saving them in the cloud lets you access your documents from anywhere in the world. But there's still more you can do to help yourself.įirst of all, consider saving your documents in cloud storage like iCloud, OneDrive, or Google Drive.
Most word processors are good at overcoming these obstacles by letting you recover previous versions. It's too easy to lose precious documents by saving over files or editing the contents. Look at the timestamps or open each of the documents in this folder to find what you're looking for. This should take you to the AutoRecovery folder on your Mac, where you can find previous versions of your documents. If you use Microsoft Office 2008, use the following file path for any app: /Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 AutoRecovery If you use Microsoft Office 2011, use the following file path for any app: /Users//Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/Office 2011 AutoRecovery PowerPoint: /Users//Library/Containers//Data/Library/Preferences/AutoRecovery.
Failing that, you might be able to find the AutoRecovery files manually.
