Quickoffice is a fairly recent
addition to the plethora of
Google apps available to
smartphone and tablet users that
are completely free of charge. As far
as office suites go, Quickoffice is one of
the best on the market, offering an
easy way to create, manage and edit
documents and other office suite
products.
Compared to other office
suites available to Android,
Quickoffice is fairly basic, but being
able to sync all your files with other
Google apps, including Google Drive,
makes it an app worth downloading
onto your phone or tablet. In the
following masterclass we’ve taken a
look at some of the app’s best features,
which every user should check out,
including the various ways you can
format word documents and sync all
of your created files into the cloud with the app’s Google Drive
compatibility.
You’ll also find
tutorials covering the process of
creating simple spreadsheets
and presentations from scratch,
as well as an easy solution to
open up documents stored on
your device’s internal storage
without the need to access the
cloud at any point.
Five great Quickoffice features
1. Any fi le you create in
Quickoffice can be opened and
edited in many other Android
office suites. This adds a great
deal of fl exibility to how you
create and manage documents
and other fi les on your phone
or tablet.
2. Although you can’t add
animations to your presentations
created in Quickoffice, by opening
them up in Microsoft PowerPoint, you
can then add animations to it, which
will really make the presentation
stand out from the crowd.
3. By adding comments to your
documents and other fi les, you can
leave notes for colleagues or other
people who are allowed to make
changes to the documents. They can
then add their own comments for you
to see and work with.
4. If you’re working on collaborative
projects, make sure to use the Shared
with Me feature on Quickoffice. If
there is more than one person
working on the same file, here you’ll
be able to see a preview of the
changes they’ve made and the latest
copy of that file.
5. Use the search feature at the top of
the app if you’re looking for a specific
file or document stored on your Google
Drive account.
