5. Easily collect data from co-workers and customers in Forms
4. Build any scalable business application on the cloud platform
3. Use online templates for documents, spreadsheets and presos
2. Run FAST, secure, and stable web apps
And finally, the No. 1 thing I can do in the cloud that I couldn’t do a year ago…
1. Securely share Video in Apps
OK, maybe some of these things were around a year ago. But the overall theme is that the cloud offers more flexibility today than it did a year ago.

What would you add to the list?
