QuickOffice now can sync your files. Even with desktop

The developers of the most popular mobile office suite QuickOffice have created a new product QuickOffice Connect, which allows not only edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents on your smartphone and tablet, but also sync these files between user devices (or between co-workers). However, QuickOffice is not going to compete with Dropbox, Box, SkyDrive, SugarSync and Google Drive. On the contrary, it allows you to synchronize files and folders with any of these cloud services but doesn't provide its own online storage. QuickOffice Connect works not only on mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Android) but also on the desktop (PC, Mac). But it also is not going to compete with Microsoft Office, editing documents on the desktop is supposed be done in Microsoft's programs.



QuickOffice Connect also allows to set access rights to synced files. For example, if you sync a file with your partner, you can give him access to view, comment or edit it. The Professional version also includes version control.

Unlike the older brother QuickOffice Pro, which works purely as an editor and doesn't synchronize files, QuickOffice Connect is distributed on a subscription basis. There is a free version that allows you to sync up to 5000 files (1 Gb) and 5 folders between two devices (per year). But it doesn't allow to edit files - only view them. This option can suit those who want to view on a smartphone the documents created on computer.

The Premium version, which allows to edit documents on mobile devices and sync up to 125,000 files (25 GB) between 4 devices - costs $19.95 per year.
