Save is save.  One command triggers the engine's save routine. Hard to 
get leaner than that.

As a general rule, I would not advise saving large live documents over a 
network, or to any folder managed by network sync (Dropbox, iCloud, 
Nextcloud, etc.).  Tons of warnings from software vendors all over the 
web about things like that.

Are the users able to recover from the "~" copy?
