    MS Office 365

    Customer will in the future work with documents in the cloud. Provider is seemingly offering MS Office 365 but their information about how is sparse.

    My basic question: Will it be possible to work with .docx and .xlsx synchronous from two different computers, one in the office, one outside the building with a laptop. Would MS-Onedrive be obligatory or could other cloud providers offer the same?

    What will happen when "the office" is working on an Excel sheet and at the same time "the laptop" tries to work on the same excel sheet. Is one of them locked out until the other has logged off? Same question for .docx documents.

    Thanks

          Yes, the customer simply logs on to 0365 on their laptop where ever they are in the world. They can access all their Word, Excel & Outlook files etc.

          This is what 0365 is designed for, cloud.

              Thanks guys. The fear the customer and myself had was that - especially - the Excel sheets gets corrupted when two are using that sheet at the same time.

                  Yes it will work but I recommend using the online web version of shared excel sheet when working together with colleagues at one time than rather syncing via onedrive desktop app. Desktop office will have the lag and quite not allowing to use one document for more people at one time

                              This is what 0365 is designed for, cloud.
                              As long as the documents are saved in a cloud location such as OneDrive or SharePoint. If they're sitting on a share drive in the office or on the local drive of their other machine, they won't have access to them.

                              What we've done for all of our company computers is re-direct people's Documents, Desktop, and Pictures folders to folders in their OneDrive with the same names. This way, they can work from any company computer and have all of their files available to them, and also don't have to worry about losing them to a drive failure or other issue with a computer.
