Office2 can integrate with a number of cloud storage services. This means that you can connect to your favourite online file store and edit and manipulate your spreadsheets and documents right from within Office2. Additionally you can view many other different types of files that you store in these online file stores. Office2 can connect to the following cloud services:
- Google Docs
- Dropbox
- MobileMe iDisk
- Box.net
- MyDisk.se
- Alfresco
- any generic WebDAV server
To configure access to a particular cloud storage provider from within Office2, press the Back button in the toolbar at the top of the file list. (The file list pane is shown when Office2 is landscape orientated).
Press the Edit button, which then appears at the top of the file list. You can then select Add Service from within the file list. This will enable you to choose from all the available cloud services.
Choose the service that you wish to configure. You will then be given the opportunity to enter the credentials for the service that you have chosen. Once you have entered your credentials (login name and password), press Save. Then press Done at the top of the File list. A new top level folder will appear representing that file store. Tapping on this folder will show the top level files in your chosen file store.
Once you have connected to the remote file store, you may transfer files to and from the remote file store and the local files folder by copying or moving the files in the normal way.
If you wish to connect to a remote file store that is not listed in the above list of file stores, then provided the remote file store supports the WebDAV protocol, you may specify "Other WebDAV" when choosing the type of service and you can enter the specific server address and port number for the service. Ask your service provider for the details that you need to enter.
For instance, you could create an "Other WebDAV" service to connect to another iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch running Office2 (with file sharing turned on). This would allow you to access the files on the other device from your own device.
