What's the recommended cloud service?
Too vague a question.
For file sync: Google or Microsoft both do great here.
For office versions of Cloud: Google or Microsoft again.The edge cases are where the clarity is needed... do you need to sync files to Linux? Do you need perfect Word doc compatibility?
Google is "good enough" for office things, and great on the sync things.
Microsoft is great on the office things, and "good enough" on the sync things.If you know nothing at all... an MS 365 subscription is worth it.

The amount of Excel use is the key imo.
The open source equivalent for Linux (I forget the name right now) is really good and will do things like pivots, link website data, etc. Pretty sure Google still can't do that, but could be wrong.
In the grand scheme of things O365 is good value imo, so if she needs to use excel herself and in conjunction with others to a medium or advanced level, (rather than just reading other peoples spreadsheets) I'm not sure Google cuts it.
You can always get around word formatting with PDFs.
One thing that I quite like, and I think you get with O365, is Publisher. Again Ymmv.

@DethBeard @Velocio ok that's good to know.
I was asking in the Linux thread about switching from Windows the Linux. Consensus was there could be problems sharing word and Excel docs between the two OS. I gues that isn't an issue if using Google online services?
