Another option for working with Microsoft Office files is to use  
Microsoft’s own free web-based Office Online tools. You can  
download the Word Online, Excel Online, and PowerPoint Online  
apps from the Chrome Web Store or Google Play Store (you’ll need to  
create a Microsoft account if you don’t already have one). Then, you

OneDrive cloud storage. Though you can download a file you create and then  
move it to Google Drive or a removable storage device, you cannot save it  
directly to those locations. Also, to work on a file you’ve already created, you  
must first upload it to OneDrive by selecting Open from OneDrive from  
within whichever Office Online product you are using (you can install the  
OneDrive app from the Web Store as well).
