  • Sharing Documents with Office
    DeepDive THINKSTOCK Copyright © 2016 InfoWorld Media Group. All rights reserved. • $79 PAASOFFICE 365 DOCUMENT SHARING InfoWorld.com DEEP DIVE SERIES 2 Deep DiveDive How to get Office 365 document sharing to actually work BY GALEN GRUMAN You know how in the movies the monster lopes along yet always somehow catches the screaming girl who’s running away from it? That’s been the story of Office 365, Microsoft Office, and OneDrive, the three pillars of Micro- soft’s attempt to move its productivity suite into a collabo- ration tool, both across users and across devices. But now, after years of progress and piecemeal rollouts, Microsoft has finally pulled together the pieces into a cohesive package and delivered on the original collaboration promise. OFFICE 365 DOCUMENT SHARING InfoWorld.com DEEP DIVE SERIES 3 Deep Dive Well, mostly — the tools still have gaps, but the main issue is deadly practical: It’s not obvious how to use them together, so many users can’t capitalize on the collaboration promise, though they now have the tools to do it. Office 2016 makes it very easy to share documents, whether for collaboration or library purposes, such as making a manual available to your team. Office 2016 also makes it easy for individuals to access documents stored in their OneDrive cloud storage accounts from multiple computers, tablets, and even smartphones. If you install Microsoft’s OneDrive app, you can access your documents — any files, in fact — from any application, not only Office 2016 ones, from any of your devices. You can also share those files with anyone using the OneDrive Online Web app — again, whether or not they are Office 2016 documents.
