Microsoft 365 Family is the new name of the famous “office” for end-users. Those who work in IT may know that a few months ago, Microsoft changed the names of its 365 products. That’s the reason for the change also for the personal product line. Apart from changing the name, let’s see if it is worth spending money on it.

The first question immediately comes up: why should I pay for the office? I can have other solutions, such as Google Docs, for free. Let’s start with the most important reasons:

I’ve never understood people with several cloud drives and a pile of stuff they will never look at again. And I know what I’m talking about because I used to do it myself. Like links to articles, I was about to read. Exactly :). Now, OneDrive in Microsoft 365 Family is the only application of this type that I use. As for me, it has absolutely everything I need for happiness. There is also a free version, but it doesn’t make much sense in the long run. What options does OneDrive provide to us ?
It is worth mentioning that every Microsoft 365 Family application has a browser version. And maybe they don’t have all the components; they are full-fledged products. And sometimes they give us extra options. Do you know, for example, that PowerPoint online can be presented live? That’s a cool thing. Or if you share an Excel file with other people, several people can work on the file simultaneously? There are a few more such gems, but this is more of a topic for the next post.
And of course, I can’t forget the To-Do app. Some time ago, I wrote that I use Getting Things Done (GTD) to manage my time. For several months, To-Do has been my primary tool. Next to the Outlook calendar, for scheduling time and managing tasks. The application is straightforward, not to say trivial. But, it has everything I need for me. I would highly recommend it!
Most of you know that I have been working as a freelancer for a longer time and I think I am good at it. Personally, there is no need to save on tools that will increase our productivity. I have already written about the benefits of Vmware workstation. Microsoft 365 Family is an essential tool without which I cannot imagine working as a freelancer.
