I'm looking for an internet based sever / file sharing thingy for a small business currently of 3 users, but perhaps increasing to 5 in due course. Is it worth looking any further than 365 ? Please respond using non technical jargon, cuz I'm an IT numpty.

Google docs is good for sharing and free. Depends on your needs really. I use open office for the office bit and dropbox for the sharing with the odd doc in Google docs.

Libre Office? Hmm maybe not with the file sharing.

I'd go Office 365, cos basically everyone can use Office, especially IT illiterate ditch diggers.

We did a thread on this recently. A friend runs his 8 person business with Open Office, there is Libre and also Google Docs, Apple iCloud all of these are free and will read/write Microsoft format files.
