I wonder if we would would really "expect" a new safe icon. Most modern software has auto-saving. Games for example often just use a spinning circle to indicate it's saving. Word and google docs just say "don't worry, we're continuously saving your work" when you hit Ctrl + S.

I imagine if you want to save something locally you have the downward arrow for downloading, or some other icon for moving and copying files.

I dont trust word to save anything if I don't hit CTRL S

I don't trust word to save anything even if I hit Ctrl S

Correction, without hitting Ctrl+S about a half dozen times in rapid succession

Yeah and even if you save it, good fucking luck finding it again.

Even worse now that all docs are saving to "Office 365". No you stupid bastard, I want to save the file to my hard disk on the computer I fucking own!
