Many universities are adopting Office 365 which comes with a free licence for faculty, staff, and students: they can install it on up to 5 different devices and have 1TB of space on OneDrive. The catch: after students graduate, they lose their free OneDrive and must start paying if they want to use upgraded versions of Office 365. By that point, many will have become "addicted" to the software and will gladly pay to continue to use it.

Idk I was a huge supporter of ms productivity software up until when they tried to convert me from a customer to a cow and managed to move the hell away from one drive quite fast. Shame because the integration was so much better than dropbox (i.e. Files aren't downloaded until accessed and you can control how) and because their office suite is really miles better than competitors.
