- phip 8y agoYes, absolutley. It does it both in browser as well as client side provided you're connected to the internet.
- johnwalkr 8y agoYes, provided it’s stored in an MS cloud. In my experience it’s much more fragile than google docs. In my company trying to use it was a non-starter because there is too much friction to convince people to consistently keep files online and off of their desktop.
- bad_user 8y agoOffice 365 is horrible for multi-user editing. When I last experienced it, we’ve lost edits, it’s that bad. And actually I’ve lost edits with just plain synchronization on an iPad. I was on a plane, I edited a document I had, putting a lot of effort into it, then when my plane landed and the Internet came back, my changes vanished with no history recorded.
- taude 8y agoI've had similar problems with editing photos on an iPad using iPhoto and loosing all the edits when it tried syncing back up when I got connectivity again. I wonder if it's more of a quirk in the iPad APIs or something?
