Connect By Quickoffice Comes To The App Store To Help With Business Collaboration

April 17, 2012
Quickoffice, the makers of Quickoffice Pro, have released a new variation of their Microsoft Office-centric productivity suite. Connect by Quickoffice is designed for long distance business and client collaboration involving documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. While providing the same Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint creation and editing capabilities as Quickoffice Pro, Connect also features synchronization and multiple user access. For the utmost convenience, you can sync documents among iOS, Mac OS, Windows, and Android devices. To ensure privacy and security, document access is controlled via an invitation system. The iOS and Android apps are broken down into five main sections:
  • My Folders - Access to locally stored files, those synced to the Connect service, and any stored on third-party cloud servers.
  • Recent Activity - A notifications area with alerts to document uploads, document changes, document deletions, and comments.
  • People - The area to invite coworkers and clients to view your files and check who has already been given access.
  • Search - Locate files by name. Default is local device search, but premium members can search remote storage.
  • My Account - Edit account information, preferences, settings, and upgrade to a higher level membership.
  The Mac OS and Windows apps are simply synchronization tools. You create documents in Microsoft Office or another productivity suite with Microsoft Office format support, then save it to the My Connect folder or one of your designated sync folders. Because the Connect system was developed for all levels of business, Quickoffice offers three different tiers to suit the variable needs:
  • Free - Offers the ability to view files, sync up to two devices, and share up to five folders using no more than 1GB of storage.
  • Premium ($19.99 per year) - Allows document creation and editing, adds remote device access and remote storage search, plus increases the number of devices to four and file sync limit to 25GB.
  • Professional ($69.99 per year) - Is meant for management level, permitting access to previous file versions, plus bumps the device limit to six and synchronized file storage to 50GB.
  Connect by Quickoffice is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 32GB and 64GB third generation iPod touch, fourth generation iPod touch and newer running iOS 4.0 or later, and available in the App Store as a free download. Connect by Quickoffice HD is compatible with iPad running iOS 4.0 or later, and available in the App store as a free download.
