E-mail and file storage services for Non-Profit entities

@eddiejennings Oh I understand that, a person only has time for so much.
-
I would vote Office365 btw, the ecosystem of apps available combined with users already being aware of Microsoft products makes this hard to beat.
-
Well, after two weeks of back-and-forth with Microsoft support about why Office 365 Business Essentials subscription isn't available, I've decided to end the endeavor. I'll be researching other solutions.
-
@eddiejennings Is your band a registered 501 c3 ? They don't just give them to all non profit organizations.

They don't, thye are actually quite picky. It's anoying.
-
Yeah, we're a 501c3. According to Microsoft Support rep, everything looked fine as far as eligibility. They couldn't figure out why the subscription wasn't listed. I'm 100% fine with not using the Microsoft solution. I just figured I'd give them the first shot.
As I was telling Scott earlier tonight, the current environment is a personal drop-box account which has some folders shared to personal E-mail accounts, and mail forwarding from mailboxes with our group's domain to personal E-mail accounts. So I have essentially a greenfield here.
-
@eddiejennings Alright if Microsoft is off the table then next considerations would be GSuite and then Zoho mail in my humble opinion.

I agree. I'm looking at Gsuite next.

Interesting that you had an issue. I helped a 503c get setup and it was the easiest thing I was amazed.

Yeah. I'm disappointed; however, I sunk two weeks worth of time into this for a solution that's really beyond the scope of what we need. I'm not interested in sinking another two weeks into it.

I hear yeah.
Did you try to buy direct or through a business partner?
I used NTG. No extra costs but all the benefits of additional eyes. Perhaps that was he difference. -

When signing up, is it best to sign in using Google or create a new account?

I've done both. I prefer creating a new account so it isn't tied to anything else.
-
@black3dynamite I recommend a new account.
-
@black3dynamite new account to keep everything separated
