Google Apps to Office 365, still log-in to google?

[LifelineIT]

I've got an organization migrating from google apps for business to Office365. I've got the actual migration down. However, the org makes use of several google docs spreadsheets that would ideally remain in the cloud for decentralized users.

Will user@domain.com logins still work even after the email host for that domain is switched to office? I suspect it would, but I'd like to know before I sever the connection.

I had a client that was unable to do this after they left google apps. They only had the trial but after that it asked for a payment to be made before they could log in

Thanks for the reply. They weren't able to log back into google apps after the email migrated? Hmm. All google will know, as far as I can tell, is that it's unable to receive or send mail after the MX records are changed. I guess I'll have to move the gdocs files to a private gdrive for now, it's only needed through december but the migration has to happen like...inside a week.

I migrated to Office 365 but continue to pay for my Google Apps account. I can still login to the account via gmail.com and see all previous email up until the cut off date. I also use it for all other Google services and it works fine.

This is correct. I'm an Apps reseller and can verify.

Thank you!!!

This is a google apps for education account, so it's free. I'm going to go ahead and back up the critical table, but I really want this form to stay alive through december.

Like mentioned before if you continue with your subscription, Google apps will still be accessible. It just won't receive email after changing the MX records.

Office 365 has one drive for each user and and team sites that can be used as a shared one drive account. I would say it offers the same features as Google drive.

Yes, I can put the spreadsheet there, but what Google apps lets you do is create a form out of a spreadsheet. I've got a very custom, very long, form that a whole fleet of employees use to report work statuses, because using the form and check boxes and drop downs standardizes the inputs.

So I can put the sheet there, but not the form.
