Office 365 Features you should Know about
Manage documents in the cloud
When users invest in this new version of Microsoft Office they cannot simply purchase the disc; downloading this product requires also downloading its cloud features. This edition of Office is designed to
save documents to the cloud through OneDrive. Every OneDrive user who pays for the Home Premium edition is allotted 1 TB of space on the cloud. Users can still save their files locally if they wish, but they may miss out on access to a lot of features and applications.
When using the OneDrive for business and SharePoint sites, you will be best to do your research to make sure it can meet your business goals. Microsoft's OneDrive does have some limitations that users might want to look into before deciding to use it as your main destination for files. The last thing a business owner want to find out is that their documents are not syncing.
Access Skype
Skype can be used for communicating on
personal or business matters. Home Premium subscribers get an hour of free minutes to use for any international calling. For those with the business versions, Skype can be used for Instant Messaging, Voice calling, and even HD Video conferencing. With Skype for business, you can even present your screen during a conference.
Install it on up to five devices
The Home Premium & some of the business version such as E3 or Small Business Premium allows for
installing the software on five devices. This is 5 Full installs & 5 mobile devices. However, some of the applications may not be available on certain mobile devices.
