What is cloud computing, exactly? Cloud computing can mean a few different things. In Microsoft Office 365, it means storing your data and settings on specialized, off-premise servers (“the cloud”), where they’re accessible by all commonly used devices, including tablets, mobile phones, and laptops. It also means having access to new business-oriented collaboration and communication applications through the Office 365 website, without having to install additional software. Though Office 365 users typically install a copy of Microsoft Office on their local computers, most of their work files will sync remotely with the Microsoft servers, which means they’re more accessible and easier to share.
