How good is office 365

Hey guys

Looking at getting the office 365 yearly subscription for the family. Only thing that is putting me off is the bad reviews for it on the Microsoft website. Does anyone here have it? If so is it with getting?

Thanks for any help

I have an Office 365 subscription. The 10TB of onedrive is worth it IMO, and you can share with 4 people in your house.

I have 2 business accounts for work, its helpful having everything you need on your phone or easy access from a pc. both accounts are unlimited too

the free copy of office is also nice.

I like it. I originally had owncloud for myself and the family but found it really clunky. The new android apps are impressive and I find the value for money excellent. Onedrive is the best bit in my opinion, I now don't have to manage all the family backups to my nas (more space for media). I've also made full use of the 5 office 2013 installs.

The only disappointing bit is file versions only works with office files.

Have they stopped doing the 10tb version as I can only see the 5tb one?

Will be buying it later today

It will be unlimited soon enough, just let that 5/10TB do you until then.

Depends what your criterion is
Cost , its is cheaper renting this than buying a full version
Reliability not so much sadly

Our company "upgraded" to 365 a couple on months ago

It falls over more often than a one legged man in an arse kicking contest

One or 2 crashes per day per program is the norm

Love it

I have had it since release, LOVE it, I have it shared with 5 computers in the house. It has been stable since first install + when the new version is released this year you will get the new version free.

And each of the 5 accounts gets their own one drive space.

I get free skype minutes too, not sure if they're still doing that.
