1 To use folder sync, you must have Office 2013 or later (Standard or Professional edition) or a subscription that includes Office applications. Office 365 Business Essentials, Office 365 Enterprise E1, and Office 365 Education plans don't include subscriptions to Office desktop applications. However, you can use folder sync if you have Office 2013 or later installed and subscribe to one of these plans.
2 OneDrive for Business functionality is limited in kiosk accounts. Kiosk customers can use the OneDrive for Business folder sync client application to sync team site document libraries with a shared computer and access documents offline. But kiosk accounts don't include a OneDrive for Business Personal Site, so they don't benefit from a OneDrive for Business personal library with 1 TB of online storage.
3 Access 2010 isn't supported.
4 Because Kiosk users can't be administrators, tenants with Kiosk users need at least one Enterprise user to access the admin center.
5 SharePoint Online customers need to download and install the free Rank Model Tuning App in order to create and customize ranking models.
6 When you use eDiscovery features, the licensing requirement for a plan that permits that feature applies to all end users that are part of the eDiscovery action (Search, Hold, Export).
7 Authenticated SharePoint Online users can access private site collections with faceted navigation.
8 Kiosk users can't create Office documents using live tiles. To create a document, kiosk users must do so from a SharePoint Online site by selecting New and then selecting a file type - Word document, Excel workbook, PowerPoint presentation, OneNote notebook, or Excel survey - from the Create a new file menu.
9 Some providers might be blocked in your country/region.
10 Sharing a document, library, or site by email with someone outside of your organization. Administrators do have the ability to turn it on, but would get a warning message indicating that it could make shared files accessible outside of your country/region. Users who attempt to share with someone outside of the organization receive the same warning message.
11 OneDrive for Business functionality is limited in kiosk accounts. Kiosk customers can use the OneDrive for Business folder sync client application to sync team site document libraries with a shared computer and access documents offline. But kiosk accounts don't include a OneDrive for Business Personal Site, so they don't benefit from a OneDrive for Business personal library with 1 TB or 5 TB of online storage.
12 You can view documents in any Mobile browser. You need to install the Office Mobile app to edit documents. Office Mobile is currently available for Windows phones and tablets, Android phones and tablets, iPhone, and iPad.
13 Help is available only in Simplified Chinese and English.
14 Visio for the web consumption (view capability) is available for free. Visio for the web create and edit capabilities require a license. For more information about Visio for the web, see the Visio for the web service description.
15 K1 users can access SharePoint Server in a hybrid setup, but Office 365 K1 doesn't include CAL rights to access the server; these rights must be purchased separately.
