Office Online with Chromebook

As the name implies, Office Online is Microsoft’s suite of Office apps available online. Like how Google Docs connects to Google Drive, Office Online connects to Microsoft’s own cloud storage service, OneDrive. OneDrive is available to anyone who has a Microsoft Live account, and comes with 7 GB for free. This is less than Google’s 15 GB, but is still enough for basic files.

Office Online comes with many of Microsoft’s Office programs:

• Word
• Powerpoint
• Excel
• OneNote
• Outlook.com is integrated with the service, also

It also comes with a calendar and address book for your personal use. The Office Online apps look like the current edition of Microsoft Office, with the tile look for the toolbar and tabs for different topics. Compared to the original Office suite, this version is very slimmed down, missing tools that you may be used to in the regular Office programs. However, people who pay for Office 365 will see many more features in Office Online, and it will be even closer to the downloadable version.
