At the time, the company also mentioned that an Android version of the app would be coming soon. Today, the Windows Blog WithMSFT has learned that a preview of the Microsoft SharePoint app has shown up in the Google Play Store, hinting at an official Android release soon.
The SharePoint app helps you keep your work moving forward by providing quick access to your team sites, organization portals and resources, and the people you work with in Office 365, and search for content and people in your organization.
