Add Office 365 To Exchange Online?

If you don't need locally installed Office Apps, the SMB $5/m/u plan is awesome. Online Office Apps, SharePoint, ODfB, 1 TB storage space, etc.

I think the OP said he needed/wanted desktop versions.
Otherwise I agree.

You are correct, he did. I was asking why? We have two or three users in my company who use integrated software that integrates directly with locally installed apps. Those people need local versions of Word/Excel/Outlook. The rest would be totally fine working with solely online versions. If we save everything into SharePoint, then it should be pretty much universally accessible.
Now to figure out how to make all the shared files remain shared with the use of SharePoint.

This is where your idea fails. When you setup folders in the Documents section of the default SharePoint team Site, you cannot open the document in Office Online. You only have the option to download it or open it in the full client. Clicking on the document, downloads it. Clicking edit will download it.
If you have a document in ODfB, you can open it in Office Online easily.

This account I am sign in with does have access to Excel Online.

What happens if you just click on the file name instead of the ellipses?
-
I just tried it on mine, if I clicked the three dots, correct I only get the options to download, but if I click directly on the name of the file it opens in the online product.

It downloads it. I said that.
Windows with Chrome, IE, and Firefox.
OS X with Safari and Chrome.All do the same thing.
Move the same file to the personal ODfB folder for the user and it opens right up in Excel online.
-
Weird, I'm on a SMB plan in Firefox and it opens in the online version.
-
I can open Office files online with my SMB plan as well.

from inside the default team site in Sharepoint?

I only tried from clicking ODfB in that same portal screen.

JB is saying that ODfB always works.. he's have a problem when trying to edit a file inside SharePoint, specifically the default team site.

SharePoint is new to me (as you have seen) ... let me add a file in there and see.
-
i just logged into a client's account that has an E3 account. I created an excel file in the default team site and it opened up just fine in the online version.
-
So I went to the Sites tile. It said welcome to (my org) SharePoint, etc etc etc.
I uploaded a file, then went to Documents, and it opened in Excel Online.
-
Soooooooooooooooooooo
This SharePoint thing still confuses me.
How does my account's ODfB account and the Team??? SharePoint site interact?

So this means. I need to log in to shadow someone logged in with an admin account and verify the subscription level.
Your behavior is the behavior I expected also, but it did not work when I tested a month ago.
-
From what I can tell the subscription choice shouldn't matter... Sux you're having issues with your account.
-
Where does the "space" for SharePoint come from?
I guess every domain gets it, but how much space are we talking?
