Hello guys,

I'm trying to switch from Office to iWorks, but I have a problem:

There is an Excel file on Google drive I need to access often. I change it on my Macs, but then I need to look at it on my Android phone.

If I use .Numbers instead, how can I read it with Android? I don't have an iPhone, and I don't plan to.

Why?

Office is so much more robust, just using Excel, its night and day what you can do, ad Word is just plain easier.

If you're looking for android help, I'd say post in the alternatives forum or an android forum. This is the Mac Apps forum and being as such, its applications that run on Macs

Maybe this would help:


You should first confirm whether iCloud Numbers even works on Android. If so, it could be worth looking into.

Insteading of Saving a .numbers formated file to Google Drive, you should Export ... > Excel in order to "save" an XLSX formatted file that is more universally supported.
