Hi all,

What do you recommend for sharing files with a few colleagues in a small charity - something really easy that can be accesssed like a shared drive (but is in the cloud)?

Also, for typical office applications (e.g. word, excel) etc, is Office 365 recommended or what about the open source stuff?
 
If you have a large number of files, above the OneDrive free limit, just one account can subscribe to the 100GB plan at £1.99/month, and create a shared folder.

If you need only basic Office features use the free online 365 apps.

There is the Office 365 family plan for £80, can be found for around £50, this'll give 6 people 1TB each on full Office apps on up to 5 devices, e.g. Computer, laptop and mobile devices.

The free storage with Office is for each user.

Is there any cloud storage which acts asa literal shared drive that each user can access from their machine?

If you are a registered charity you can get the basic version Microsoft 365 for free for up to 300 users. Which should be good enough for what you need.

However if you need the desktop apps, Microsoft gives 10 free licences of the premium version of 365. If you have less than 10 people in your organisation, this might be the good option.

It might be worth taking the time to look into everything that Microsoft 365 offers.
