Explanation:
Box 1: Yes
Yes - Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat lets you upload documents from your local computer.
Users with an eligible Microsoft 365 subscription, but without the specific Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on license, can still use Copilot Chat, which allows for direct file uploads from a local computer.
Key details about using file uploads without a license:
Functionality: Without the license, Copilot Chat is "grounded" in web data and the content of your immediate, open document, rather than your broader enterprise data (SharePoint/OneDrive).
However, you can manually upload files (PDFs, Word documents, etc.) into the chat to have Copilot analyze, summarize, or rewrite them.
"Work" vs. "Web": Without the license, you will not have the "Work" tab/toggle for automatically searching your enterprise data, but you can still use the "Web" tab to interact with locally uploaded files.
Limitations: While you can upload files, this version does not include the deep integration into Microsoft 365 apps (like having Copilot built directly into a Word document to rewrite paragraphs).
Box 2: Yes
Yes - Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is included with Microsoft 365 Business Standard.
Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is included at no additional cost with a Microsoft 365 Business Standard subscription, providing AI-powered, secure web and work chat capabilities. It offers enterprise-grade data protection, allowing users to interact with files and data, but does not include the full integrated in-app features (Word, Excel, etc.) found in the paid Copilot add-on license.
Box 3: Yes
Yes - Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat lets you create and use agents that can access Microsoft SharePoint folders.
Users without a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can create and use agents that access SharePoint folders, but this requires specific organizational configurations:
Pay-As-You-Go Billing: Organizations can enable a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) service for SharePoint agents. This allows unlicensed users to create and interact with agents, with costs billed to an Azure subscription based on usage (approximately $0.01 per message or ~$0.32 per full query).
