When I first got my Office 365 account, OneDrive was called SkyDrive and OneDrive for Business was called SkyDrive Pro. In typical Microsoft fashion, the company has OneDrive and OneDrive for Business - and they're completely different beasts. I judge contacts and calendar as adequate, but not compelling. Some of those features have since been added.Įven so, my Google Calendar is so solid and useful that I haven't tried to fight to get the Outlook version up and running.Īfter a year: A solid and reliable Google Calendar has given me no reason to consider switching to Outlook, combined with Outlook's inability to share contacts with Skype. When I made the decision to use the Google Calendar, there were some valuable features (emailed reminders) that didn't exist in Outlook's calendar. The Office calendar has improved over the years, but I use Google Calendar and completely ignore the Outlook calendar. Disappointingly, given that Microsoft owns Skype, Skype contacts live in their own silo, and don't sync with Outlook contacts.

As it turns out, contacts in Office 365 sync nicely with the iPhone, but poorly (they lose categories) with Android devices. I'll be talking more about contacts in a future article.

It tells the full story.Īs for the other Office Web applications, the simple fact is I have yet to even launch them. So I bought the larger plan because we have a lot of data to store, mostly email going way back to before the turn of the century.įor those of you curious why I chose Office 365 over Google, go ahead and read My big email switch: Why I picked Office 365 over Google Apps. I've got well over 100TB under one roof, somewhere around fifty devices on our network, and GigE into every wall of the house. I bought the Office 365 Midsize Business plan, not so much because my professional service firm is a midsize business as because I use computing resources like a midsize business. With subscriptions for me and my wife, that comes to $30 a month. I signed up like a regular business customer and pay for it like a regular business customer. I didn't get any "press favors" with this thing.

First, and most important, you should know I pay for my own subscription. Long live the iPhone 14 Plusīefore I get started, let's set the stage. Host your own fantasy football league: 5 apps that make it easy McDonald's just threw technology out the window (well, its customers did)
