Info updated on:

Start quickly with the most recent versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and OneDrive - combining the familiarity of Office and the unique Mac features you love. Be powerfully productive with apps to create, connect, and share wherever you go. Create high-quality reports, essays, and class presentations with smart assistance features in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Save up to 500,000 photos and files with 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage. Enjoy an ad-free email and calendar experience with Outlook. Find the feature you need fast and create documents.

Microsoft 365 is a suite of tools that includes the well-known Office apps and a series of utilities designed to enhance your productivity, whether related to personal needs or business requirements. Therefore, you can subscribe either to the Home or Business modules, with the possibility to choose the work plan that is best for you.

Microsoft 365 for Mac combines the indispensable Office suite with the latest productivity and communication needs. Therefore, you don't need to work uncomfortably seated in front of your computer anymore or to edit and manage your files exclusively in front of the computer screen. Thanks to the OneDrive app, you can save your projects in the cloud so you can access and continue editing them on the go.

Storage shouldn't be a problem, since there is a 1 TB free storage included in each plan. Having web and mobile versions of the Office apps, multiple users can work from different devices simultaneously on the same document and see the changes in real time. Also, your offline work will be synced automatically in the cloud the moment your connectivity is reestablished. The same happens with your e-mailing activity. The Outlook Inbox can be accessed even when the Internet connection is missing. Moreover, you can schedule meetings, update to-do lists, manage contacts, and draft new e-mails which will leave the Outbox at first connection.

Nowadays, remote communication is a stringent need. Microsoft 365 covers it by including Teams in the suite of provided apps. Thus, you can join calls and meetings to reduce the impact of the lacking physical proximity with your family members, friends, and co-workers. Skype is also part of the bundle, included for the same communication and collaborative purposes.

The security of documents, photos, and personal information, as well as the protection against online threats are issues that Microsoft 365 has taken into account. Therefore, home users can benefit from file recovery, e-mail phishing detection, and premium features with the Microsoft Family Safety mobile app, while businesses can enable security groups, configure custom permissions, and ask for advanced protection against cyber threats and all sorts of online attacks thanks to Microsoft Defender.

To conclude, Microsoft 365 is a smart solution to your productivity, collaboration, security, connectivity, offline and online work, and cloud services needs. It is available as a set of well-designed and structured packages that address to Family and Personal plans and meet the requirements of Business and Enterprise requirements. Also, there is a lite version available on the Mac App Store that includes the 6 most used apps - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and OneDrive.
