Office 365 is cloud-based software that allows users to access and edit documents over the internet from any device with an internet connection. It stores files on the cloud (the internet) rather than locally on users' computers. Users can share documents on Office 365 and collaborate on them in real-time by granting editing access to other users. When documents are edited and saved, the latest changes are automatically synced across all users' devices.
