Dropbox Integration- A feature worth taking an advantage of

Microsoft has gone into collaboration with Dropbox for offering users of Android application development services, a quick and easy way of saving and synchronizing their files, folders and other documents on their Dropbox cloud storage account. The latest Office app for Android comes with seamless Dropbox integration, allowing you to access, manage and share file from anywhere and at anytime.

Now, you can simply load, save and share all your documents stored in Dropbox directly via the Office app that's available in your Android powered devices. If you are working on a shared document, then you can choose to open it using Dropbox, edit it in Office and get it auto-saved to Dropbox for review and/or changes by other users.

Added ability to generate OneDrive share links via Android Office mobile app

The latest version of Android Office app also offers you an additional ability to generate OneDrive share links by simply tapping the context menu(located towards the upper-right side of the screen), hitting the 'Share' button and selecting the "E-mail as link" option. Therefore, any user who has the link for the document will be able to view it using his/her OneDrive account. He/she would also have the freedom of editing it in whatsoever manner he/she wants.

Android users can expect a much bigger update to the Microsoft Office app that comes pre-installed in their devices. Users can opt to hire Android developers, in case they face any technical issues within this app. As per this update, the Office app is expected to have been split into separate applications for Excel, Word and PowerPoint. Although Microsoft hasn't announced any time-frame for this update, it believes Android consumers will be embracing the same with utmost amount of enthusiasm. And that's not all.
