Install and set up Office on an Android

Install and set up Office on an Android

If you're trying to sign in to Office with your Microsoft account, you may get a message asking you for parental permission or to verify your age.

For more information about why you're seeing this and how to resolve it, see Parental consent and Microsoft child accounts.

Are you an adult receiving this message? See Age verification for parental consent.

If you have a free Microsoft account or a work or school account with a qualifying Office 365 subscription, you'll have access to the app's extra features.

Before you begin, make sure you download the Office for Android apps from the local Android Store.

Looking to set up your Office 365 email? See Set up email on an Apple device with Office 365 operated by 21Vianet.

Note: Using a Chromebook? You can install Office mobile apps for Android on your Chromebook if you have the Google Play Store or use Office Online if you have the Google Web Store.

Tap the service where you want to view your files. For example, to view Word, Excel, or PowerPoint documents, tap:

  • Open > OneDrive - Personal where you store personal documents

  • Open > OneDrive - <your business name> where you store your work or school documents

Open a document

You'll see the list of files you saved to OneDrive or OneDrive for Business. The type files you see are specific to the app you opened them in. For example, if you opened the Word app, you'll only see Word documents; if you opened the Excel app, you'll see Excel spreadsheets.

To view any OneNote notebooks you saved to OneDrive or OneDrive for Business, tap + Open Existing.

Note: To use the extra features in the Office apps, you must sign in with the Microsoft account or work or school account associated with your qualifying Office 365 subscription.
