Yes, the Web version wasn’t a compelling option, especially since I use office for business purposes and don’t want client material on Microsoft’s cloud, wherever that may be.

The storage used for the web apps are going to be your OneDrive storage. Or if your business has SharePoint configured, it could be there.
Whether or not you should trust those locations is of course, not something I will try to argue.

So far – at 1 p.m. Eastern on July 14, 2026 – I am still able to edit and save on Office 2019 V 16.78.3 running on my MacMini 2024 running on Sequoia 15.7.7. Has anybody else tried to see if Office 2019 still runs on their system? I’m curious if this is just a fluke of using an old system or if MS has not shut down Office 2019 effectively.

I was just using Word 2019 yesterday (7/14 US east coast) and it was fine, saved some files a bunch of times. (I was submitting to a journal and had to muck about with weird things that kept showing up in the PDF that the website made but that I had changed in the Word doc, so I had to edit, save, edit, save, a bunch.) Hmm ok technically it’s Word 16.78.3 with a Retail License 2019, so I assume that’s what we have been talking about here. (I have macOS 15.7.3.)
