Good day everyone

I did try read through the FAQ to ensure this is allowed. If I missed something and this should be taken down, then please inform me and I shall do so ASAP.

For working purposes, I need the Microsoft Office Suite and OneDrive storage. The plans are so mightily expensive that I was hoping to get on someone else's plan. I realise it is a bit risky to ask online, but I am not sure who else to ask and my finances require me to enquire lol.
The family plans are good deals if you can manage to fill it up with people. Alternatively, if I had to buy a plan, would there be any people interested in joining for a fee? Not sure if the plan differs in pricing depending on country, but it's about $110 where I'm from.

Thanks everyone!

Im not interested in the family plan, but i just want to make sure, do you really need it to be on microsoft? If you need suites just for the sheet, docs, and ppt, there are other free alternatives like libreoffice. For one drive, i didnt find a cheaper option for the same size, but if you dont need 6TB, you can opt for another service like google drive instead.

Microsoft would work best. I had looked into open source alternatives, including LibreOffice. However, the people I collaborate with and those who revise my work use the Microsoft Office suite. It feels like a massive pain to try and go a different route.

The family plan only gives 1TB per person. For the time being 100GB would actually be sufficient. I do have some Google Drive storage so I may just try get a package for the office suite and then use google drive instead of getting onedrive. The office packages can be quite expensive too however.

Thank you for the response :)

I see. I havent try it, but i see that there is a web version for microsoft 365 that you can use for free. Maybe it is an option as well?
Personally im just importing any office related things in google drive these days because it is fast and free.

Those sources are still so easy, they earn billions they don't care.

If it’s for work, then you should really be contacting your employer.
If it’s for a home business, then you’re in a bad financial state to start with.
I would try any of the many free office alternatives, and Google drive, or similar free cloud service.
