My question is: Can the client use SharePoint with the “Microsoft 365 Apps for Business” license, or is SharePoint only available with other Microsoft 365 plans?

Select the Microsoft 365 plan that’s right for your home or business.
You can use M365 Business Basic if you can use the web versions of the Office suite. Else you would need to move to M365 Business Standard plan. Either of those gets you SharePoint; your current plan does not.

My wife runs an IT company and has a small client with 10 users. Each account currently has a “Microsoft 365 Apps for Business” license, which provides access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneDrive.
The client is considering replacing Dropbox with SharePoint for shared storage and collaboration. However, I understand that OneDrive is designed for individual and private use by employees, while SharePoint is intended for shared environments.
My question is: Can the client use SharePoint with the “Microsoft 365 Apps for Business” license, or is SharePoint only available with other Microsoft 365 plans?
Any advice or recommendations on how to approach this situation would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I've take over a small company using Office 365. right now each user have a Microsoft 365 Apps for business + Exchange (Plan 1).
I don't understand why they choose these 2 licences over Microsoft 365 Business Standard ?
Except for the email and Microsoft Teams, what is the difference between Microsoft 365 Apps for business and Microsoft 365 Business Standard
Hi Milkatron,
Thank you for posting in our forum community.
Based on your mentioned description, if you have purchased Microsoft 365 Business standard subscription and if you are finding SharePoint as a desktop application, this app service is not available as desktop version. The SharePoint app service should be available as web app version in your Microsoft 365 tenant subscription.
Here is the detailed information article: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/business/compare-all-microsoft-365-business-products
If you have any further concern and issue under purchasing Microsoft 365 Business subscription services, you may contact to our backend side Microsoft 365 Business subscription’s billing support team via Phone support, they will further guide you and provide you information about your concern requirement. Since, we forum moderators have limited access permission to check further detailed information into the forum community.
Have good day. Stay blessed and stay safe. Thank you for your kind cooperation and understanding in our forum community.

Hi Darpan, Thanks for replying.
Edit: I have worked out where SharePoint is now - The problem is because Microsoft imposed on me a Microsoft domain / email during the sign up process, and wants that instead of the original email I signed up with for 365. Please disregard what's below and consider this solved.
________________
Can you please explain to me the difference between the Microsoft 365 Business Standard you have posted and the one below which is what I chose and is advertised as having Sharepoint included? Is it the same and you saying I should be able to access Sharepoint online with my account? If so how? I don't understand 'Microsoft 365 tenant subscription' - I want to know how to access Sharepoint, whether I do that through the subscription or otherwise, I don't understand it. The whole thing seems incredibly unintuitive. Have I missed some instructions somewhere when I signed up?! Where does it tell you how to access Sharepoint?!

I'm looking into purchasing Microsoft 365 Apps for business licenses. I need the desktop apps (Word and Excel) and OneDrive. (I don't need Business Standard because I can't give up Gmail, so my Google Workspace account handles my email and video conferencing needs.)
Can someone explain why, on the feature comparison chart under "File storage and sharing," Apps for business won't "Keep your files securely stored, up to date, and accessible across devices"? (Screenshot below. Link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/business/compare-all-microsoft-365-business-products)
Is this a limitation of the OneDrive version that comes with apps for business? I've tried to figure it out in any documentation I could find. I even contacted sales through a chat. I didn't get a satisfactory answer.
Help would be appreciated.
