Microsoft brings SharePoint to iOS

“Our company will be pragmatic and embrace other mobile platforms with our productivity services, device management services, and development tools – regardless of a person’s phone choice, we want everyone to be able to experience what Microsoft has to offer them”, he said.

Microsoft has launched a free iOS client for its SharePoint enterprise collaboration suite, making it easier for businesses to consolidate inter-office communication and collaboration on the go. That means, for starters, that anyone who’s been attempting to get on their company intranet in an iPhone browser can stop right now. The official Microsoft SharePoint app connects to Microsoft’s SharePoint Online, and SharePoint Server 2013 and 2016, and hybrid environments. The CRN Test Center took a look inside the app to see how it’s organized and what features it includes.

There’s more information on how to use the new SharePoint mobile app for iOS on Microsoft’s support site. The Sites tab gives users access to all of the SharePoint sites that they’re a part of at work.

The app will allow you to access all your team sites, organization portals and resources. While it might be a little awkward to build an entire flow on your smartphone’s relatively small display, that is something that Microsoft plans to add in the near future, as well as an Android version.

The People tab lets you find colleagues in your organization, and see what they’re working on, whether individually, or with others, “based on intelligence powered by Office 365”.

Links brings users to sites and portals intended for company-wide use, curated by SharePoint administrators from the SharePoint home in Office 365. Each site will constitute of its recent activity, recent files and the site’s assets (documents, lists, subsites, pages and more).

This morning, Microsoft announced that the SharePoint app for iOS is now available.

There’s also a feed that shows you a history of all your Flow actions.

It also announced that SharePoint would be integrated with Microsoft PowerApps and Microsoft Flow.

Finally you have the all important Search feature that provides clean results filtered by sites, files and people.
