Google QuickOffice is an
application that lets users view and edit Microsoft Office files on their
mobile devices. Previously, the app was only free to Google Apps for Business
subscribers, and everyone else had to pay $14.99 for the pro version or $19.99 for
the pro HD version.
Now students, businesses,
nonprofits, governments and consumers can all download the app for free on
Google Play and in the App Store. Users can simply sign in with their Google
Account to start editing Microsoft Office Excel, Word and PowerPoint files on their
iPhone, iPad, Android phone or tablet.
"Quickoffice has
been a part of the Google family for over a year now and we’ve been focused on
making it easier for you to get work done in Drive - no matter what type of
document you need to work with," said Alan Warren, Engineering VP at
Google Drive in a blog post.
"Converting old
files to Google Docs, Sheets and Slides is still the easiest way to share and
work together, and we’re working every day to make the files you convert look
better."
Quickoffice is integrated
with Google Drive, so users can access their files across devices. There are
also a number of new features including the ability to create .ZIP folders and
view charts in Excel and PowerPoint files.
An update
notification to upgrade to the new version will be sent to users who currently
have the Quickoffice for Google Apps for Business app.
