I’m new to MacBook, trying to work with windows and iOS. What app is there on Mac that will easily show all of my local files and ones on network and iCloud. OneDrive is easy. Even with commander one, iCloud is not there. Any suggestions. It’s like working with two sides of the brain.another question is is MS Office365 the best option for word processing on both sides of the fence?

iOS runs on iPhones and iPads, are you saying you are using iPhones and iPads too? Or is this just on a Mac, with macOS?
The Mac includes the Finder, which much like Windows Explorer, shows all your files locally and any network locations and servers you have added to it.

iCloud also appears there.
One Drive would only show files stored on One Drive and nowhere else.
If you use Microsoft Office files, and if you need strict compatibility and support, then yes, Microsoft Office 365 would be the best option.
You can also use Apple's own Pages, Keynote and Numbers to open Microsoft office files but in some cases translation is not 100%, and may have differences in rendering specially if the files are using very specific Office features and layouts.
There are of course other apps, such as LibreOffice and OpenOffice that can open Microsoft files and are free.

Thank you. I will use and get to know Finder.
