The OneNote app itself is free... So it's just a matter of connecting the free app to the Business version of O365's SharePoint.
Free and not available on all OSes. So that's useless in many cases. You just added whole new costs to get the "free" piece.
You mean there's no app for Linux... That the only one where there is no fat client. And I would guess you could use the web version there.
But the web version is $16/mo.
?
Are you just dense? This has been answered already.
Yep I'm dense, I just showed that I can do what he mentioned with the $5/m/u account.. don't need to pay $16... unless you need other E level things.
Can you mix and match accounts? I thought that you had to be one or the other, not a blend of the two.
I don't know if you can mix business class an enterprise-level class I know that you can mix different types of Enterprise together and you can mix different kinds of business together but I don't know if you can make the cross between the two. Even so the $8 account on the Enterprise should be able to do exactly what I'm saying I can do with my $5 account. -

It's $20 for the only E level that has both SharePoint and OneNote. OneNote online is not free like you are thinking.

I never thought OneNote online was free. Though as an end around, could a single person, say Danielle, make a ON file and share it with everyone in an E level account and they gain access, assuming you needed what the $8/m/u account provided over what the Business level includes.

But online is needed for the use case. And creating the file isn't the issue, you need the E3 account to access it. If you don't have that and/or are on Linux, it just fails.

Why is an E3 account needed? oh.. only because you, as an MSP, are required to use E level accounts.. OK.. well, you're in a pickle then.

Yes, combination of needing E accounts because of partnership and need E3 accounts for customer support and testing.

@Breffni-Potter seriously. share some details. I really need to get something online, even if in alpha/beta if it is good.

@scottalanmiller what about spreadsheet replacement.
Simple spreadsheets abound for tracking basic list info. What would be a good solution for that?
NodeBB can do tables (standard markdown functions)
So do wiki systems.any other choice/option for tracking lists?

We are discussing LibreCalc files on NextCloud. Which will work but I don't like it. Tables in DokuWiki is my preferred approach, but it isn't drag and drop which sucks.

Have you not gotten Collabora running with NextCloud? I haven't taken time out to trouble shoot everything, but it's basically LibreOffice Online integration with NextCloud from my understanding of it.

Not yet, but that would be expected. I still don't like the heavy editing and multiple file approach.

DocuWiki has a CSV plugin.

@JaredBusch that was on my list to look into, that's pretty cool. Any stumbling on a plug in that would let you copy / paste from something like a Word doc?

I assume and you want this to keep the formatting? Did not look.
I happen to know another package that can do it, but I have no idea how to aquire it.
This wiki: http://wiki.eqemulator.org/i?M=Wiki
Has complete copy/paste and it all just works setup. Unfortunately it is a custom designed piece of software. The author wrote it as part of a larger tool for internal use at his company.https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-miles-a9874b60
Edit: just went in to edit a page and I copy/pasted from a word doc with images and the images did not come in, but the outline did.

At the moment it's Alpha Alpha, Not everything is loaded. Dev work is fun.
Post Christmas..I'll have betas to hand out to people. For now the tool can only do 1 thing.

Is Slack for Teams an option here? I figure you would likely have to use something more than just their free plan.
