Notably none of the Google Docs cloud apps have any save button or option.

  Saving drafts on XenForums is a floppy, even though there is no local save involved. I'm sure I've seen it in other web contexts.

  It took me a very long time to learn not to compulsively hit ctrl-s while using Google docs

  Interestingly at one point Google Docs did have a save button, which IIRC didn't actually do anything because it would automatically save. The button was there just to make you feel more confident. You can see it in the top right corner here: https://sm.pcmag.com/t/pcmag_au/photo/g/google-docs-2010-old-word-processor-interface/google-docs-2010-old-word-processor-interface_axh6.1024.jpg https://sm.pcmag.com/t/pcmag_au/photo/g/google-docs-2010-old...

    The button was there just to make you feel more confident. ...and when the autosave inevitably fails, deception like that only serves to anger your users more.
