Having trouble downloading or installing Office 365?

How does this differ from EagleConnect’s OneDrive Office Web Apps that are already available?

The OneDrive Office Web Apps are a great solution for managing your MS Office documents on the go, since they may be accessed and modified anywhere you have Internet access and a web browser.  The applications included with Microsoft Office 365 are the full, separate applications and can be used “offline,” such as when using the software on a desktop or laptop.
