Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still use Office apps after cancelling?
Your installed desktop apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) enter a read-only mode. You can still view files but cannot edit them. Free online versions at office.com remain available.
Will I lose my OneDrive files?
Your OneDrive storage drops to 5 GB (free tier). Files are not deleted immediately, but if you exceed the limit, you will not be able to upload new files until you reduce storage usage.
Is it cheaper to buy an annual subscription?
Yes. Annual plans from retailers like Amazon AU or Bing Lee can save up to $20 compared to monthly billing. Microsoft Store also offers annual pricing.
