Anyone use office 365 ? Thinking of getting it for 3 or 4 users .

Just recently in the past week this has been changed to Microsoft Windows 365. Really just a name change.
You can get a personal account which gives you up to 6 family members using it for circa £75pa. This gives each user 2TB of One-Drive online storage and makes it best value for money at £/TB storage.

Its a robust package, Office is all singing - all dancing as a package, if anything its too bloated for the majority of users.
One-Drive is pretty robust and generally works, perhaps not the prettiest interface but it gets the job done.
One of the nice things is that if you store your documents on a One-Drive folder they get automatically backed up in real time as you're using them meaning no more lost work.

I'm content with it in that it simply works and it has the most compatibility for sending and receiving files.
That said, if I was happier with Google's privacy policy, I really do like their Google Suite and Google Drive online storage offering.

I've had Outlook.office 365 for a loooooooooong time and is as close to outlook express as you'll find in a web mail, IMHDO

We have a server at work and it handles all the emails and stores all the files, it's getting changed soon for an update and it's been mentioned we should consider 365 for the access to files and mail remotely

I have it for that reason. If I’m working away, or just out of the office I can look up files on my phone or Tablet. Works well for me.
I don’t like the idea of subscription rather than just buying it once, but it does mean you constantly get the security and performance upgrades which is a good idea.

Been a MacOS user since the year dot but still have to use Windars - remember the 'blue screen of death'
Yes - took out a new subscription to the Office 365 service last year and it's now called Microsoft 365.
Absolutely love it - seemly links all my stuff to all devices and Apps on iPad, iPhone, MacBook and iMac
Loads of benefits, including Family Sharing, Team Working and One Drive etc etc - do it

Office 2010 works enough for invoices etc, just needs errr “regenerating” every so often with a little program

365 is good I love the "onedrive" clous storage and being able to us it op a phone tablet or PC is very handy , Don't much like funding Mr gates every year but if you look on amazon there is often a deal on it with a reasonable discount if you buy it on the one off yearly payment , they send you out verification code to use , then keep an eye out for it when its on good deal again you can buy it again at any time and just activate it when your old licence expires .

Yep - that's exactly what I did last year via Amazon deal code malarky
Like you I use all the mobile Apps etc for iPhone and MacBook etc via the One Drive

We use 365 loads at work, have over 100 users on it. Teams is a revelation for intra company comms, especially in these times.

I've recently rolled it out to our Parish Council as well, was easy enough actually!
