Windows/Outlook/Excel/Word Pc’s, and Android phone
I am a long time user of MS Outlook, Excel, and Word products on my work and personal pc’s running win7. My calendar is in outlook and my emails are managed through outlook via gmail and ISP provided email addresses.
I am not fond of the gmail web email site as I find it clunky and difficult to navigate vs outlook.
My phone is a Samsung S4 android which I don’t really want to replace if possible.
We have a dropbox account where we put shared excel and word files.
I need to set up my phone such that I can access my word and excel documents. I don’t plan to do a lot of typing or creating spreadsheets on the phone but I do need to access existing documents for reference when mobile.
I also need to access and manage my calendar and email while mobile and I’d like to do it with the familiar outlook interface is possible.
It looks like there are android apps for excel, word, and outlook available on google play store.
I’m wondering if others are running similar set-ups on your pc’s/phones? Do the windows apps run ok on the android/google phones?
Accessing excel and word files from the phone should work ok because the files are stored on dropbox?
My current calendar and email are stored locally on the desktop pc which means they would not be available on the phones outlook app I assume. What are my options here?
Thanks
