Microsoft’s servers were rather slow or not responding.
Office 2016 will improve everything for the Mac users and therefore many of them seemed to request for the free download since Microsoft announced its availability on their blog. Working with SharePoint has been a rather painful job on a Mac. One of the biggest advantages of Office 2013 is the integration with among others SharePoint and OneDrive.
