In app "documents" in jolla storage I can't find minimal functional for my work:
Have Sailfish native apps for adequate work with documents?

After longer searched adequte app capable work with any office files, like .ods, .xlsx, .rtf and other I was forced use not native app "AndrOpen Office" from google play. It's some longer time launch them I like, but it has all of things what you need for work.

AndrOpen Office is amazing. Little slow and unreliable, but after all gets the job done. I may give Jolla little more time to give us a proper office suite and just use this in the meantime :-o.

Should this be considered as Duplicate of below - https://together.jolla.com/question/65413/port-calligra-gemini-to-sailfishos-as-native-office-suite/
IIRC , current sailfish-office is based on Calligra.
Hmm...Sailifsh office is a port of Calligra so i pointed it out ICYMI. This topic can remain if you wish so but other one already has 145 votes. :)

It does say in the app description that You can view and share documents. But I agree, if these aren't going to be implemented, the app should be renamed as Document Viewer, now the name is somewhat misleading. I think they named it Documents, because it's more or less a file manager to view documents on your phone, but still...
raketti ( 2015-10-27 10:00:31 +0300 )editObviously that apps for work (not just read) with docs should be for any modern mobile OS. It obviously for me, but not for sailfish maintain. Some years gone after start of sales a jolla devices. I'm saddened and disappointed about sailfish native apps.
kda ( 2015-10-27 10:21:12 +0300 )editYeah, they haven't developed maybe with the pace as a user would like, or need on a daily basis. I thought the android support was a starting bump, to get people on board while more native apps come around, but it seems that you cannot use Jolla without the android support if you want to do more than write notes and read emails (to be blunt).
raketti ( 2015-10-27 11:03:28 +0300 )editI'm afraid that sailfish like mobileOS may be died even if based software functional not supporting. I'm not tell about smart or complicated software. I'm talking about basis use.
kda ( 2015-10-27 11:16:09 +0300 )editIt's not what you're looking for, but... When I do work in Sailfish OS I use Vim in the Terminal. It has auto-backups, infinite undo / redo, and hundreds of other standard features.
Sadly, it's not nearly as easy, fast, or convenient as when I was working, writing, and programming on my Nokia N900. I miss it so much. :'(
