      I have a small business I just transitioned to Office 365 (thanks NTG).

      This interests me... You seemed like you were against Office 365 in the other thread. What changed your mind?

        SharePoint is a platform. Everyone will use it differently. I would grab some books. High level ones. The end user experience is so varied.

          As a robust file server with version control, online editing, check in / check out and over the Internet mapped drives is one way. This is basic, out of the box functionality and really useful.

          We use SP for all of our documents.

          Live, multi-user Excel is pretty sweet.

            OneDrive is a consumer service. OneDrive Business is just part of SharePoint.

              SP contains a very powerful wiki. Using it as your wiki is a great way to start using it.

                SP has built in blogging capabilities too. It's pretty neat.

                  You can use SharePoint as a database and an application layer. Really interesting stuff there.

                        Workflow functionality is a big deal in SP. That's stuff that most SMBs are not used to having.

                          You can actually use .NET and build whole applications on top of SP.

                            We use it as a backend for our 365 e-discovery and archive/legal hold portal. Our partner built it for us - took 2-3 days. Amazing stuff they give you in Office 365 that few people realise is in the solution

                              I've never been against Office 365, as long as you have nothing today. Or you're already hosted today. This particular client of mine was hosted with a local company for $18/user/month with a 15 user minimum (they only needed 10) with none of the extra features that Office 365 offer. Not to mention the fact that their old hosting provider was still on Exchange 2007.

                              They've moved to the E1 plan for $8/user/month and gained access to Exchange 2013, Sharepoint, etc. and save $10/user/month.

                              and with the new features (which was originally outside the scope of the move, and now I'm scrambling, ug) they want to see what new things can help their business.

                                  This is something they might be (probably are) interested in using.

                                    We've been using SharePoint internally at NTG since the original 2003 release. We went 2003, 2007 and 2010 all hosted internally. Then we went to 2010 hosted with Rackspace and then 2013 with Office 365. So we've been using it a long time. We use it for everything, once you get used to it you will be addicted. It is really amazing once you start to leverage it as your central repository for everything.

                                      Do you map network drives for file storage?
