Microsoft Office documents are the easiest tools used on computers to create, edit and share documents. However, these files are not easy to deal with on the move, using a smartphone or tablet. Thankfully, there are a handful of apps that work as mini Office suites for different mobile platforms.
Google Android devices face a challenge while opening Office Documents shared via email, Cloud Storage or hotlinks online. That is why we offer the five best Office productivity suites to open, view, edit and share these files easily.
Google Drive
Google Drive offers a cloud word processor, spreadsheet, and even presentation program. Google has added rich editing tools to Google Drive’s individual apps and also enabled file viewing offline. The App allows viewing, editing, creating and organizing office documents including PDFs, which can also be accessed through Google Drive’s web interface. The presentations can be opened with speaker notes.

If you have a tablet you can use a Bluetooth keyboard to make the best of this app. The trial version allows only viewing while the paid version offers full scale editing. The app opens all Microsoft Office files smoothly and it uses color coded icons with the file format written on it to easily identify the file type.

This app supports Google Drive and once the app has been authorized it quickly opens files stored in Google Drive. It is a fantastic tool for those who wish to enjoy more offline and editing control over files.
QuickOffice Pro
Just like DocumentsToGo, this is a single package solution for working on Office documents. The app offers creating, editing and sharing of Microsoft Office 97 to 2010 file formats.
