Because MS Office is a different business than giving away free accounts to collect user data. It provides cloud services for money. I guess MS has much better redundancy mechanisms and pretty much committed to not lose your data.
Well, shit happens sometimes even with people having the best intentions to do the right thing. Though I didn't hear about a single case of MS losing people's data. But I'm sure MS would handle such situations differently than blaming it on a user and just terminating accounts.
- kashura 6y agoYou mentioned the word "value". Is there another tangible value to you in O365 vs G Suite besides the redundancy?
- Mikho 6y agoValue = proper Office suite online and offline with proper document formatting and files + more storage. Altogether cheaper than G Suite. Also it's really great value to have Office installed locally as a proper software. Not a crappy dumbed down browser web-site.
- kashura 6y agoI pay for Gsuite which is $6/mo and extra 100gb of storage, for $8 total. The part that drives me nuts about 0365 is that they don't allow custom email domains below Business 0365 which is $12 a month.
- ksk 6y agoHmm I see it at $6.99/mo .. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/p/microsoft-365-personal/cfq7ttc0k5bf?activetab=pivot%3aoverviewtab https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/p/microsoft-36...
- kashura 6y agoPersonal plan doesn't allow you to use custom domain for the email address EXCEPT for 1 domain that is registered with GoDaddy. And you can't share that domain with another account.

- kashura 6y agoThank you! I pay for Gsuite but somehow I didn't notice this change.
