Need Microsoft Office on your iPad? Or maybe just Word or Excel? There’s no need to wait for Microsoft Office to be available for your iPad. Yes, you can install a remote access software from your iPad to control your PC or Mac, but what if you don’t want to connect to your computer and just be independent on your iPad?
Nexus allows you to run the full version of Microsoft Office from any web browser. You can certainly use that concept for your iPad. You’ll need to have your files stored in DropBox, Box, or Google Drive in order to access them with the Nexus’ Office programs.
How much? It’s free for 60 days, and if you like it it’s $20/month or $200/year. There is a student discounted rate of $5/month or $50/year which is a pretty good deal.
The drawback is that you need to be connected to a WiFi network or have Internet service. But, it’s good practice not to save files to your iPad anyway so this Nexus computer service forces you to have your files already backed up online which is a good thing.
