SkyDrive Pro for iOS v1.1 app released

SkyDrive Pro for iOS v1.1 app released

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.

View, share, and edit files stored in SkyDrive Pro from your iPhone

1.       Make sure you have both SkyDrive Pro for iOS v1.1 installed and the latest update of Office Mobile for iPhone from the App Store. Both apps now support iOS 7.

2.       Launch SkyDrive Pro for iOS and open one of your Office documents. It will launch in View mode using the embedded Quick Look iOS technology.

3.       In the upper right, select the more options button, and then select Edit. The document opens in Office Mobile for iPhone, while maintaining file integrity in-place in SharePoint Online.

4.       Make your edits, review and add comments.

5.       Save the file to SkyDrive Pro.

Select Edit to launch Office Mobile for iPhone from SkyDrive Pro for iOS on your iPhone.

View, share, and edit files stored in SkyDrive Pro from your iPad

1.       Make sure you have the latest SkyDrive Pro for iOS v1.1 installed.

5.       Save the file to SkyDrive Pro. Share with a colleague. Get work done.

 

Select Edit to launch the corresponding Office Web App on an iPad in the native Safari browser.

 

Open OneNote files from SkyDrive Pro directly to OneNote for iPhone and iPad

The OneNote for iPhone and iPad apps recently added support for Office 365. Now, in combination with this update to the SkyDrive Pro for iOS app, you can both view and edit OneNote notebooks stored in your SkyDrive Pro, natively within the iOS OneNote apps. Your notes appear the same-even rendering ink-across all your devices (Windows, Windows Phone, Android, iOS). The OneNote file remains connected to your SkyDrive Pro in Office 365, allowing you to keep track of your work notes, all in place, even on the go.

1.     Make sure you have the OneNote app installed on your iPhone or iPad.

Install OneNote for iPhone and OneNote for iPad from the App Store.

2.     In the SkyDrive Pro app, select the file from the folder view, and then select Edit.

3.     Review and add to your notebook.

4.     Save your notebook to SkyDrive Pro.
