Remote work will continue to become the new norm as it offers more flexibility for small businesses or self-employed, so there has never been a better time to set up your remote work tools than now.

These tools need to be affordable and cloud-based to maintain flexibility, agility, security, and continuity. Microsoft's Office 365 is a more affordable way for individual users to access the cloud productivity suite. It is a fantastic way for small companies and self-employed to ramp up their productivity and make a big impact.

Two of the most well-known cloud-based platforms that allow you to save, share, and sync files across multiple devices are Microsoft’s SharePoint and OneDrive. They both are parts of Office 365 and help you organize and secure information while enabling collaboration functionalities. Data from both services can be accessed by the user from almost anywhere with a network connection.

OneDrive is better for individual projects and SharePoint is best suited for teams. They both have similar capabilities including the following:

• Co-authoring (you can edit documents simultaneously with colleagues and track changes in real time),
• File sharing (both internal and external),
• Version history (where you can see the evolution of changes made to your documents),
• Mobile device access and ability to locally sync files to your desktop,
• @mentions and threaded comments.

These and other features will be covered on March 18^th at the “Secure work with documents in OneDrive and SharePoint. Simply explained for non-IT users” webinar. It will give an overview of how you can use Office 365 to manage documents and include demonstrations of OneDrive for Business and SharePoint.
