Features
Microsoft Office Online allows for users to create, collaborate and share documents, spreadsheets, and presentations online. Office Online files are stored and shared via OneDrive, accessible either online (using a browser) or as a desktop application.
Although limited in some ways (see differences for each application below), Office Online allows for functionality not available in the desktop applications, including:
- Work on documents directly in browser (with diverse browser support)
- Autosave functionality
- Easy file sharing and collaboration
- Tight integration with Microsoft 365 desktop applications
