Files I save as copies end up as temp. I have to repeatedly re-save the file as I'm working in it. The file is repeatedly removed from my one drive.

When I save a copy of a file with a new name, as I'm working in the file it loses the new name and winds up in the tmp file path. I have to resave it, and then it happens again and again.

    Hello,

    It sounds like your onedrive has a sync issue, I suggest removing your account from onedrive, restarting the computer and readding it to reset the sync.

    Hope this helps,

    JC

    Are you using "Save As" and then typing in a new name before selecting the save location? Doing that will allow you to keep the older version with a different name within the same folder.
