The newly updated WPS Office for Android app is the beginning of a larger mobile app integration between Kingsoft and Dropbox focused on bringing consumers and business users a more unified mobile workflow.

With this integration, WPS Office users with Dropbox accounts will now be able to:

• Log in and access files and folders saved in Dropbox from within WPS Office;
• View, edit and save files saved in Dropbox from within WPS Office; and
• Share documents saved in Dropbox with one-click through email, SMS and Web chat.

Kingsoft Office has also made it easier for existing Dropbox users to sign in and access their files and folders within WPS Office.  

"For mobile users, email has become one of the primary methods for managing office documents," said Frank Fu, president of Kingsoft Office Software US. "Email isn't the most efficient or scalable method for collaborating and sharing documents. Our partnership with Dropbox helps to improve this scenario by making it easier to save and share Dropbox documents right from within WPS Office."

"We're focused on building the best place to get work done," said Christine Moon, head of mobile partnerships at Dropbox. "That means giving users ways to collaborate within the apps they already use. With their expertise in mobile productivity, we're excited to work with Kingsoft to provide more ways to create and share documents on the go."

WPS Office users will be able to sign up for Dropbox and receive 10 GBs of free space for three months. Kingsoft Office plans to actively promote this offer to its more than 400 million WPS Office users worldwide. The integration with Dropbox will be available for WPS Office iPhone and iPad users in the coming weeks.
