I've switched to Mint and I'm searching for alternatives to Microsoft Office (or Microsoft 365, as they call it now). While LibreOffice is great, I'm missing the cloud autosave feature that Word provides. I want to easily edit documents on both my home desktop and my university laptop without a hitch. After starting my essays at home, I should be able to pick up right where I left off at campus, and vice versa. The web version of Microsoft Word doesn't support the citation system used at my university, and I'm not keen on using Microsoft anyway. What solutions would you recommend for seamless access?

For syncing files across devices, check out Syncthing. I use it on Linux, Windows, and Mac, and it works really well over WiFi. For document editing, OnlyOffice is a great alternative; I actually prefer it over LibreOffice.
You might want to try using Dropbox. Just save your documents in the synced folder, and they'll be available on both devices without a hassle.
If you're really looking for reliable options, saving your files in a folder synced with Google Drive or Dropbox is probably your best bet. If you're tech-savvy, you could also set up Syncthing on a Raspberry Pi to sync across systems. Just a heads up, using GitHub for docs is a pain for non-text files, so I wouldn't recommend it.
I've been using OnlyOffice linked with KDrive. If your documents are saved in KDrive, you can open them on any device running OnlyOffice, regardless of the operating system.
Google Docs is another solid option for cloud autosave. You can access it from any device, and all your changes are saved automatically.
