When you save a document (ie ctrl+s) Nextcloud detects it and uploads the new version. It can even do some versioning.

  Clicking ctrl+s is not autosave :) That is saving manually, and then the file gets synced. Autosave you don't need to click save/ctrl+s https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-is-autosave-6d6bd723-ebfd-4e40-b5f6-ae6e8088f7a5 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-is-autosave-... >AutoSave is a new feature available in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 subscribers that saves your file automatically, every few seconds, as you work.

    If you use app with auto-save it will auto-sync. Many apps have that feature.

    It's been around since Office 95.

    That's a feature of your editor, not the cloud sync tool. If you're editing a file in Vim, for example, called work/foo.txt, then it will create a hidden file called work/.foo.txt.swp and periodically autosave to that file. And if you have Nextcloud set to sync the work folder, then it will automatically back up .foo.txt.swp as well. https://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/recover.html#swap-file https://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/recover.html#swap-fil...
