Google for education with office365?

[SirAlan]

Happy Sunday!

 

Is it possible to have a school setup on Google with some users able to access office365 and have one drive disabled?

 

Would like to explore if feasible to allow some users access to office365 but also ensure all data remains within Google. Whether the user is on a PC or Chromebook.

 

If possible, is it simple and what are the requirements?

 

Thank you!

Easy to disable OneDrive - just remove that part of their licence in the admin portal.

 

It might be a bit of a pain to use both systems however and may become confusing.

Can you please explain how to do this as it was not obvious how to remove one drive in the license area? Or is this based on a specific license?

 

Thanks

Thanks, when trying this approach I receive the following error.

 

License operation failed. Make sure that the user has necessary services before adding or removing a dependent service.The service Office for the Web for Education requires SharePoint (Plan 1) for Education to be enabled as well.

Id like users to be able to access office products. (That's the only items they need)

 

Current licences 365 A1 for faculty.

Ah, you might be stuck then.

 

I’m not an expert in this area though so someone else may know better.

What features of O365 do you want? If its just the desktop apps you can get Office 2021 or Office LTSC.
