Google Apps v Office 365 – For schools | The Staffroom The expectation by teachers and students of ‘anytime, anywhere, any device’ access to online services has resulted in a rethink of software and file-server provisioning in schools. Many schools are now enabling student and teacher access to collaborative cloud apps and file storage services, which are accessible from school and home, on shared school computers and personal laptops and tablet devices. Which cloud service is best for your school? While there are a number of online apps and file storage services available, the two options that appear to be battling it out for education market share are Microsoft’s Office 365 (O365) and Google Apps for Education (GAFE). Both services offer the usual ‘office’ apps (word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, email, calendars, etc) along with huge amounts of file storage space. (Google now offers ‘unlimited’ file storage for GAFE). Both services provide apps for mobile devices, and both offer options for accessing files when offline. See also
