Hi guys,

I've just begun storing my documents on Microsoft OneDrive. I've noticed that if I open a document and make no changes to it at all, the Created and Modified date and time changes to the date and time I opened the document. This is incredibly frustrating as I often need to know what date I actually made any changes to particular documents. Is this normal for OneDrive?
 
I stopped using OneDrive and also Office, its just horrible. It was tolerable on a PC, but its largely unusable on the Mac.

I offloaded all of my docs from OneDrive, and now only use OnlyOffice as a replacement.

I sync one (small) folder between my Mac's and Google drive (free) storage only for files that I'm actively referencing or working on.

Office for Mac 2021 (perpetual license that cost $49 and still receives updates) works flawlessly.

Could you tell me which save options you have checked on your OneDrive please?
