Some of you may be saying: “iWork for iCloud has been available for quite some time now”…and you would not be wrong. However, iWork for iCloud was only available for those users who already lived in the Apple ecosystem. If previously you only used Windows, and are looking for an alternative to Microsoft Office 365, you now have a chance to see what Apple has to offer and it won’t cost you a dime!
Apple’s iWork productivity suite is similar to Microsoft Office in that it offers programs for word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations. All you have to do in order to give these programs a try is create an Apple ID. It’s that simple. Once your Apple ID has been set up, you’ll get 1GB of complimentary iCloud storage, and can start using these new programs. Please note this free access is just for the web-based version of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
In order to get the full benefits of iCloud, you will need to purchase a Mac or iOS device. But for those who are still on the fence in regards to switching from Microsoft Office to an alternative, this is an excellent opportunity to try something new without any risk involved. Give the iWork Suite a try here. I’m sure you will love it and who knows, maybe this will pique your curiosity about what a Mac or iPad could offer you.
