Microsoft 365

losetheforce

Was looking at Microsoft 365, full access to the Office suite + 1TB cloud storage per person, with the family subscription its £50 / €66
(A family can be 6 people)

This would mean if 6 people clubbed together it would cost €11 per year for a 1TB cloud storage each, pretty good....

I am already doing this with spotify, anyone out there interested in giving this a go....

2TB on dropbox is €120

Seems sensible

I installed an SSD on my laptop last week. While installing a fresh copy of windows, it offered me a deal of 39 euro for this.
Didnt take it as I get it free from two sources but maybe worth you investigating.

Interested. Let me know how it would work.

Just be wary; If you go in on a family subscription, the subscription owner may be able to lock your account and take control of your files.

That's a "maybe"; Microsoft may have set it up so that the subscription owner can just add and remove your licence and doesn't have access to your data.

That would be a concern tbh

According to this from Microsfoft this is not the case at all

Can people I share with see my files? Can I see their files?

No. Your files always remain private and so do theirs. This includes kids in a family group as well.

Regarding, the main account holder locking or removing access for the family member this would be true, but is the same with a shared Spotify or any shared family account. I've been running a S. account for a few years and this has never been an issue (have references)

Please send me a DM if interested in getting going on one of these
