OK, so 3 months later, is there any answer to the issue? I've had exactly the same question for months, and all I see are deleted comments and links to other threads with no relevant information. Not helpful. Doesn't create much incentive to use this site as a resource.
Hi Hanna. Thank you for your post. Currently, this is not yet supported, but we will be evaluating this more closely as Office 365 is increasingly being adopted and promoted.
Hi Brittney, any updates on this?
When is Office365/SP online going to be supported? We've been waiting for years!
I have searched for this functionality to other mind mapping tool
and would like to share with you that in DropMind(now the product has new name
iMindQ) the integration with SharePoint 365 works perfectly...give it a try in the meantime while MJ implement it
Thanks for this. It seems to work and I have been trying to share maps through SharePoint for 5 years. The price makes it easy for all members of a small business team to have a copy.

Hi all, the work to support this feature is commencing.
Finally, now I can stop constantly looking at alternatives:) I have lots of experience with Office 365 online and SharePoint online and on premise. Would be happy to be a test case.
And if Mindjet would like an education/school environment to work with, sign me up!
The first people to make a mindmap app for SharePoint online are going to make a fortune $$$. Need this so bad, is there an eta to market?
Okay, have I missed something or was this only wishful thinking. Micheal, Anything?
Okay, Mindmanager 16 is announced and will shortly be with us. QUESTION: will it (or won't it) include integration with Office 365? I think this question is to you, Michael Deutch, as you are the only Mindjet representative to have offered a commitment.

You should be able to connect to SharePoint / Office 365 using the MindManager Linker which is delivered as part of MindManager Enterprise.

Michael I think you may have opened a can of worms! If I understand correctly, what you are saying is that in future you need to purchase MindManager Enterprise rather than the standard version of MM 16 to access Office 365 (and presumably future versions).
This will have major implications for a number of home/small office users who were doubtless looking forward to integration between the standard version of MM and Office 365. I'm also concerned at the implications for users of the standard version of MM 16 - will it continue to support existing and updated desktop versions of Office?

Hi Alex,
No, that wasn't what I was saying...or trying to say. I was specifically referring to the Office 365 hosted SharePoint integration. I was not referring to our integration with Microsoft Office (e.g. Word, Excel, etc...). We do not currently directly integrate with Office 365 for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc... It is something we're looking to address in the future though.

I must say I'm truly disappointed in the viewing point of Mindjet on integrating with Office 365 particularly and with third parties in general. If only I was able to show/export a fully functional MindMap to Office 365 (in SharePoint Online, that is...). I am the guy that people/companies listen to when advising solutions, and this is the reason why Mindjet is being deleted gradually... I cannot begin to tell you how unwise this course of action is, and don't give me crap about the current export solutions because none of them offer a full mindmap experience (mind you; flash is NOT the way!). Listen to your userbase, not to your investors.
There are 2 points regarding SharePoint 365 / Sharepoint Online integration, which must be distinguished.
The 1st point should be offered in all MM versions (not only in Enterprise) if not, the product is of no use with SharePoint.
The 2nd point is obviously non-standard mindmap feature and I understand it is priced extra (in MM Enterprise version)
The question is: Does MM 2016 (non-Enterprise) support 1st point?
- ability to open/save/check-out/check-in mindmaps from SharePoint 365 (including all authentication methods used in Office365 for corporations)
- ability to link to SP365 list, tasklist, libraries,calendars etc. to create checklists/overview in mindmaps/charts

I have talked With a Mindjet support for over 6 years , and have been assured that Office 365/SharePoint support for small teams was in the plans. Usually, my consulting engagements use Mind Manager n the brainstorming and planning phase. My clients are small business owners or small teams in a larger organization. As soon as I attempt to distribute the maps for feedback and collaboration, having a large upfront cost becomes an issue. So now a just export maps to Xmind and put updated PDF's in Office 365/SharePoint document libraries. I no longer try to sell Mind Manager. My advice, move on.
Totally agree. Mindjet is done, stick a fork in it. Reading through this thread is amusing, what a disingenuous stream of misguided, misdirected nonsense. Gave up on Mindjet years ago, but thanks for the Xmind reference, I downloaded it and it looks promising.
