Microsoft Office Account for Home and Business

Recently, Microsoft introduced changes to Office 365. End users have the option of choosing between two kinds of accounts: Home and Business accounts.

In real terms, home is only associated to one person. If you decide to open a business account, you’ll require all of your employees. Therefore, home is ideal if you’re not likely to share documents with anyone else in your office. If you have multiple PCs working at the same time, the home account is preferred since you will be able to use the same email address for all of them. If you only have two or one computer in the workplace, then a business account is more beneficial. It allows you to collaborate with other users and make it easier to manage the files.

Maximum 5 email addresses per account. If these addresses are to be used as the primary mail address then the first address is your primary address, the second one is alternate address and it goes on. This feature isn’t available for accounts at home, however it is accessible for business accounts. You can create a home account and your first email will be your primary. However, subsequent emails will be sent using the same username as the sender. This can create confusion since they might look like they were sent from you even though they were sent from someone else within the company.

File size limit: Home accounts are limited to a size of 20 GB. If you’re dealing with many large files to send the business account will be the better choice as for each user and each office 365 webmail (Hotmail/Outlook) mailbox, we have 1TB of storage that is virtually infinite in terms of file size.

Home accounts are designed to be used to share emails between family members. There is no way to share files but there aren’t other limitations. A business account is different. It does not have any restrictions whatsoever regarding sharing documents or not, however it does not permit users to share their emails with other people (so practically every user has their own email address).

Additional information: Microsoft Live/Outlook/Hotmail accounts can be linked up to five individuals. This means that in order to create a brand new address you must have at least two of these accounts. However the business accounts don’t have this limitation and you can add as many email addresses to yours as you want.
