What is Cloud Office?

Introduction

Cloud Office is an application that makes communicating and collaborating within teams easier and more efficient. Cloud Office combines e-mail, documents, calendar, contact and task management in one integrated application. Sharing data with each other is simple and can be done from anywhere. You can find out more about the individual features in the “Cloud Office functions” section.

To use Cloud Office, all you need is internet access and a modern web browser. Find out how to activate Cloud Office here.

Cloud Office functions

Cloud Office offers you the following functions:

E-mail

Send and receive e-mails easily in Cloud Office’s web application. Depending on your Cloud Office package, you have up to 100 GB of e-mail storage. The useful set-up assistant lets you set up your mailbox on your work devices without any previous knowledge.

Calendar

The Cloud Office calendar gives you an overview of your appointments. You can plan and create appointments, check the availability of team members and send appointment invitations. You can also keep several appointment calendars at the same time. The calendar can also be synchronized with digital calendars from other service providers (e.g. Outlook, Apple, Google, etc.) (CalDAV support).

Address book

Cloud Office’s address book makes it easy to add and manage your contacts. In the address manager, you can also use the filter functions or share entire address books with your team. Your address book can also be synchronized with your work devices and smartphones (CardDAV support). And depending on your Cloud Office package, you can share your address book with other Cloud Office users (individually, in groups or with the whole team). 

Tasks

The tasks function in Cloud Office lets you manage your projects and keep track of your to-do lists. Continuous and recurring tasks can be easily created, edited and assigned. Set appropriate due dates and use the reminder function.
