Office 365 Questions

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

I am just looking into setting up Microsoft Office 365 (free Education version) with ADFS for the skydrive only at the moment.

 

I have 2 questions i can't seem to find

 

1. Can you allow skydrive on a computer but keep Hotmail blocked?

2. Can you disable the ability to share folders with external users?

3. Can i just have it setup with Skydrive without email etc?

 

Thanks

Great!

 

1. Can you allow skydrive on a computer but keep Hotmail blocked?

 

SkyDrive Pro in Office 365 Education is totally different to SkyDrive for consumers; SkyDrive Pro is part of SharePoint Online. Office 365 and the Microsoft consumer services are on different identity platforms so, in theory, it could be possible to prevent access to the consumer services such as SkyDrive, Outlook.com, etc. whilst still allowing access to Office 365 Education.

 

2. Can you disable the ability to share folders with external users?

 

Yes.

 

3. Can i just have it setup with Skydrive without email etc?

 

Yes. You can pick and choose which licences to assign to your users. If you only want them to have access to SharePoint Online then only tick the SharePoint Online box!

@jamesbmarshall can you do some kind of home area and SkyDrive Sync? Thanks

[jamesbmarshall]

Yes: Sync a library to your computer - support - Office.com

@jamesbmarshall i mean something more server level, rather than people doing it themselves? Thanks

There's no reason why you couldn't move content from your server into SharePoint Online.
