MacOS – Where does Microsoft Word store autorecovered documents in Catalina

catalinamacosmicrosoft

I can't seem to find the Autorecovery Save folder in Catalina. Previously I used a command line string to see the files, but that command doesn't work anymore.

Is this feature still implemented with Word using O365 subscription and macOS 10.15.1 Catalina?

Best Answer

You will get the AutoRecovery folder under the Library of your user folder.

  • The library under your user folder is normally hidden. So press command+shift+. to see all the hidden folder.

After this, go to 

/Macintosh HD/Users/xxx/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Library/Preferences/AutoRecovery

Here xxx is your username

You will see your recovered files over there.
