on October 14

Mark Kashman (@mkashman) is a senior product manager on the SharePoint marketing team.

Microsoft introduced the SkyDrive Pro for iOS v1.0 app June 2013 enabling business users to access and view documents stored in SharePoint Online from iPhones and iPad. Our promise to deliver faster-paced, continuous innovation continues with today’s announcement of the SkyDrive Pro for iOS v1.1 app.

SkyDrive Pro for iOS v1.1 introduces a premier mobile editing experience for Office 365 for business users. The documents you work on remain in their original source location, SharePoint Online in Office 365, enabling you to work with your Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote documents – to easily keep track of them, even while on the go. To provide this kind of rich editing experience, Microsoft developed a clear connection between SkyDrive Pro for iOS and other Office-related apps (Office Mobile for iPhone, Office Web Apps, and OneNote for iPhone/iPad).

Let’s see how it all works.
