Microsoft SharePoint

Review by eFreeware

If your workplace runs on Microsoft SharePoint, this Android app is the most direct way to reach it from a phone. It pulls together the sites, news, files and people that belong to your organization, and the developer says it uses AI to shape that view around what you work on and how your colleagues' work relates to yours. That makes it a natural fit for employees who already have a SharePoint account through work and want to check in without opening a laptop.

The app is free to download, carries no ads and offers no in-app purchases. It does need an organizational account: the developer notes that signing in requires either SharePoint Online through an Office 365 plan or an on-premises SharePoint Server. In other words, this is not a standalone productivity tool you can adopt on your own; it is a window into a system your employer or organization already maintains.

With over 10 million installs and a 4.0 average across more than 34,000 ratings, it has clearly found an audience among people who need SharePoint in their pocket. The app has been updated as recently as September 30, 2026, which suggests Microsoft continues to maintain it alongside the service it connects to.

Built for employees inside an existing SharePoint setup

The clearest audience here is anyone whose organization already uses SharePoint and who needs to reach it while away from a desk. That includes people who move between locations during the day, staff who travel and want to keep up with team news, and managers who need to look up a colleague or a document between meetings. If your company's intranet, document libraries and team sites live in SharePoint, this app is the mobile front door to them.

It also suits people who belong to more than one organization or work across several accounts. The app supports adding multiple accounts and switching between them, which is useful for contractors, consultants or anyone with both a primary employer and a separate project workspace.

What it is not is a general-purpose note taker or file storage app for personal use. Everything it shows comes from a SharePoint environment you have access to, so it only becomes useful once you have credentials tied to an organization. Readers without that connection will find little to do here.

Sites, news and files in one personalized view

The core of the app is a personalized view of your organization's content. You can browse team sites and communication sites, catch up on news posts, and get back to files you were working on. The developer describes the experience as tailored to what you work on, which is the kind of claim that in practice depends on how much activity your organization generates in SharePoint.

Search is the other main way in. Rather than hunting through a hierarchy of sites, you can search to find and discover content across the environment. For anyone who knows roughly what they need but not exactly where it lives, that is likely to be the fastest route.

The app also surfaces people. Tapping a user opens their contact card, showing their colleagues and current projects. It is a small feature, but for large organizations where you may not know who owns a project, it can save a round of messages.

Posting updates and reaching colleagues

SharePoint on Android is not only for reading. News posts can be written from the phone and shared with your team. That matters for people who are away from a desk when something worth communicating happens, and it means the app can serve as a publishing tool rather than just a viewer.

The contact card feature rounds this out. Being able to see who a colleague works with and what they are currently doing gives context that a plain directory listing would not. For teams spread across departments, that context can be the difference between guessing who to ask and knowing.

These capabilities assume your organization actually uses SharePoint for news and collaboration. Where it does, the app covers the common mobile tasks well; where the environment is lightly used, there is simply less for the app to show.

What it costs and what you need to sign in

The app itself is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. For most people reading this, the required subscription is already in place at work.

It supports SharePoint Online plus on-premises Server 2013 and later, so older server setups are covered too. That range is worth noting.

One practical point for anyone managing accounts: the app allows multiple accounts and switching between them. That is helpful for people with more than one organizational identity.

How it compares with other ways of getting to work files

The nearest alternatives are the broader office suites and cloud storage services that many organizations already use. Those tend to center on documents and personal storage, while this app is built around the structure of SharePoint itself: sites, news, people and the relationships between them. If your organization's content lives in SharePoint, that structure is the reason to use this app rather than a generic file browser.

A dedicated chat or meeting tool occupies a different space. Those are built around conversations happening now, whereas SharePoint is where the resulting documents, sites and announcements tend to live. The two can complement each other, and this app is the one that reaches the repository rather than the conversation.

There is also the browser route. A dedicated app can present the same content in a form designed for a phone screen. For people who check SharePoint often, that convenience is the main argument for installing it.

A practical companion for people already on SharePoint

I would recommend this app to employees whose organization uses SharePoint and who want to reach it from an Android phone. It covers the tasks that come up away from a desk: finding a file, catching up on news, looking up a colleague, posting an update. The personalized view and search give you two ways in, and multiple account support handles the case where you belong to more than one environment.

The requirement to have an organizational subscription is the main thing to weigh. Without access to SharePoint Online or an on-premises server, there is nothing here to sign in to. For everyone else, the app is free and ad-free, and it does the job it is built for without much fuss.

If you already rely on SharePoint at work, this is a sensible thing to have on your phone. If you do not, the app has nothing to offer you, and that is simply a reflection of what it is designed to connect to.
