    Hey Uroš Mrak,

     

    You can do BCS in SharePoint Online/Office 365. However the issue you are having is a bit different. You are using SharePoint On-prem with Office 365 pro plus deployments.

     

    The problem you are going to have is googling this you are going to find ways to turn on BCS on sharepoint online, but if your data is not there, its not much help.

     

    I think you ultimate solution would be a hybrid BCS deployment, as explained here -https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/hybrid/deploy-a-business-connectivity-services-hybrid-solution

     

    This will mean surfacing data into SharePoint Online, but that would then make that data available to your cloud office deployments.
