I recently bought a new laptop from Currys (Lenovo). I bought Office 365 Home for it (for up to 6 people) on an annual renewable subscription. Currys also flogged me their ‘livedrive’ powered ‘Cloud Backup’ which is 2TB for 5 years for a fixed fee.
On closer inspection while setting up the laptop and Office I’ve realised that Office 365 Home comes with 1TB OneDrive cloud storage per person. SO I’m wondering if I actually need the additional livedrive cloud storage.
What do I actually need?
I need cloud storage for accessing Office files such as Excel and photos not only while using the Lenovo laptop but also from an iPad (iPad to be bought at a later date). The iPad will be my partner’s so we will have two users with one device each. The two users need to be able to access each others’ files saved in their respective cloud, or possible one shared cloud space if possible.
Is this possible on one of the cloud options but not the other? If Livedrive is the only option then I need to keep it. if OneDrive allows this then I can return livedrive and get a refund.
If neither, I guess my only option is to register the iPad in my name and then technically they’re both my devices using the same one person’s cloud space, which would be OneDrive and I’d return and get a refund on livedrive.
Hope this is clear… thanks in advance!
