After acquiring Quickoffice, a mobile software suite that includes word processor, spreadsheet and presentation apps—all compatible with MS Office, last summer, Google released a free Quickoffice iPad app for its Google Apps for Business customers. Now the company has announced its availability on Android and iPhone. The new app also includes better Google Drive storage integration.
Now available on Google Play and the Apple App Store, Quickoffice allows users to edit any Microsoft Office file, from Word to Excel to Powerpoint. New files and edits are saved and shared through Google Drive, giving business users a quick place to share files with co-workers. The app is basically a bridge between Google Docs and Microsoft's suite of productivity tools.
The app also allows to sort Google Drive files by Shared with me, Starred, and Recent. It now supports multiple Google Drive accounts and lets users create and share ZIP folders from multiple files.
Fow now, the app is only available for Google Apps for Business subscribers, a service that starts at $5 a month or $50 a year. If you’re not a subscriber, you’ll want to check out apps like Quickoffice Pro or Pro HD in a price range of $14.99.
