In Apple they have decided to open the doors of their office tools for all users , even for those who don't own a Mac computer, a iPad or a iPhone And, from this moment on, the suite iWorkhas free access for anyone who has an account Apple ID, whether or not they have a device of this brand.A very simple requirement to achieve and that allows you to have access to these complete and colorful tools to create documents, calculation tables or presentations for slideshow
And now the tools Pages, Numbers and Keynote are accessible from any platform through a web browser. Something very similar to what happens with the tools of Google With this, anyone can createhear, consult and edit text documents , spreadsheets and presentations via a computer or mobile device connected to the Internet. Even from one with the operating system Android A complete convenience for those who want to take advantage of these tools but do not have an Apple device
At the moment, this service is only available through iCloud Beta, although it is expected that thewill be announced soon full opening and the arrival of the final versions of iWork. Meanwhile, it is possible to use its tools freely just by creating an account Apple ID A not too long process that can be followed through the iCloud Beta website, and which consists of entering the name real name, an email address, a password and several security questions to recover the data in case you forget your password. With this you can now access Pages, Numbers and Keynote through the same website.
Just click on the application you want to access and wait patiently for the resources to load. In this way it is possible to use its tools to create a document from scratch or using its templatesIt also has other options typical of these applications such as collaborate in real time with other users , or store the documents created on the web to access them from anywhere and at any time. And it is that Apple gives away one GB of space to be able to save a few files without problem.
Now, at the moment, they are beta or testing tools, so their operation is not as reliable as it should be, although they can be used freely and, in general, without problems. A well-thought-out strategy by Apple but that may come a little late given the pressure of free Google tools or the new campaign Microsoft and its suite Office We will have to see if it manages to penetrate among users to make edits and create documents with theoptions ManzanaOne more step in the liberation of these tools that were already offered completely free since last 2013 to users of Apple devices
