What is Office 365 and how does it differ from other versions of Office?

Asked a year ago
Office 365 is a cloud-based subscription service offered by Microsoft that provides access to a suite of productivity tools, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Unlike other versions of Office, which typically require a one-time purchase and are installed on a single computer, Office 365 allows users to access their applications and files from anywhere, on any device, as long as there is an internet connection. This ensures that users have the latest versions of the software, with regular updates and new features. Additionally, Office 365 includes additional collaboration and communication tools such as Skype for Business and SharePoint, enabling seamless teamwork and file sharing. With Office 365, users also benefit from 1TB of cloud storage per user, providing secure backup and easy access to documents.
