Microsoft Office 365
What is it?
UNCG is in the process of migrating from Zoom, Google, and Box to Microsoft 365. Office 365 is the cloud-based Microsoft productivity suite that provides access to Office applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other productivity services. Microsoft Office 365 can be accessed at Office 365 at UNCG.
When you log in to Office 365 you land on your “Home” page. This page provides quick access to recently opened files. There is also a left ribbon that opens cloud-based versions of all apps. The cloud-based apps offer the convenience of easy access to all of your files from anywhere. However, in some cases the cloud-based apps might lack some advanced functions found in the full products. The Home page also provides you the option to download and install the full Office suite to your computer. You can also upload files on the Home page.
