I've been using the new office beta for a while now, and I pretty much like it. I like the integration with cloud. Now that Office 2013 and 365 have been announced today, I still can't understand if the 2013 version has the same cloud integration? Can I save docs, spreadsheets and onenote files directly to the cloud just as I did with office consumer preview?

Thank you

    Hi Viacheslav,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft community. We are glad to assist you with your concern.

    Using Office 2013 or Office 365, you will still be able to save Documents, Spreadsheets and OneNote files directly to Cloud as you did using the Office Consumer Preview version.

    The features available in Office 2013 and Office 365 are the same. The only difference is that Office 365 is a subscription based service.

    You may also refer to the following link ‘Get started with Office and SkyDrive’ and check if it helps:

    I hope the above information helps. If you still have any queries related to features available in the new Office, you can reply and I’ll be happy to assist you.

    Thank you

    The referred link actually confused me further.  I find that Microsoft seems to use Office Online and Office 365 interchangeably, and if they are the same, then I'm not a candidate for Office 365 anymore than I'm a candidate for Google Docs.

    I have Office 2010 on a personal laptop and Office 2013 on my work laptop and my desktop in my home office.  I'm able to easily work on any document on any of those devices.  However, when I try to use an Excel spreadsheet that's stored in the OneDrive account that's tied to my Hotmail ID, it's a real problem.  The versions of Word and Excel available online are closer to my installed apps than are Google Docs or Open Office, but they're a far cry from the real apps.  Furthermore, I can't open the file from Excel Online using my version of Excel 2010.

    So, if Office Online and Office 365 provide the same functionality, I'll never subscribe to Office 365.  On the other hand, if Office 365 truly has the same features, interface and functionality as Office 2013, I'm highly likely to subscribe and I'll probably migrate altogether over time.

    It seem to me that this answer and the referenced video say different things.

    Hi,

    With the launch of new office 2013, MS has also launched Office 365.

    Its like Depending on the type of Office 365 subscription you have, one subscription lets you install the new Office on up to five computers and this is only with Office 365 subscriptions.

    Office 365 duration will depend on how much you have paid for subscription.

    This is a kind of subscription which will be renewed on time to time basis (monthly - yearly) depending on how you purchased and from where you have purchased.

    For Ex : If I want to use Office for 1 month, I can go ahead and purchase Office 365 subcription for a month.
