Microsoft 365 Family - apps and 1 TB OneDrive per person (up to 6 users)

A household usually notices productivity gaps in small moments. Someone cannot open a file on the go, two people need the same app at the same time, or important photos and documents end up scattered across devices. Microsoft 365 Family is designed to bring order back by giving everyone reliable apps, shared flexibility, and personal space to work, study, and manage everyday tasks across computers, tablets, and phones.

Instead of juggling different tools, each person gets the familiar Microsoft apps for writing, spreadsheets, presentations, email, and notes, plus cloud storage that helps keep files accessible and protected. You move from “Where did I save that?” to a calmer routine where documents sync, photos are backed up, and each family member has their own setup without stepping on someone else’s work.

This plan used to be marketed under the Office 365 name, and Microsoft 365 Family reflects the newer positioning that combines the classic Office apps with cloud services, security, and newer features like Copilot. If you are looking for what replaces the older Office 365 Home style plan, this is the continuation of that idea, with broader benefits around storage, protection, and cross device use.

When you buy Microsoft 365 Family from SwissSoftware24, you get fast digital delivery with the activation key, the official download link, and a Swiss VAT compliant invoice for clean accounting. You also benefit from straightforward purchase support for both private users and business customers if setup or activation does not go as expected.
