Google, a prestigious technology company, is making a practical use of third parties to make its productivity apps more useful on Android.
On Thursday, Google made it known to the public that it's now possible to bring functionality from apps like DocuSign, ProsperWorks as well as Scanbot into Docs and Sheets on its mobile operating system.
The third-party add-ons will let users do things like - start to electronically sign a document, access CRM data and produce mobile apps based on data the users have stored in a spreadsheet.
The aim of the new add-ons is to make it easier for people to get work done within Google Docs and Sheets even if they're very active, based on the report of PC World.
Those individuals who typically have to put up with free document scanning apps in the Play Store will be filled with gratitude to know that Scanbot is also on board.
With all of the ones that are now available on the Play Store and through the in-app Add-Ons menu, users can also look forward to finding more add-ons coming in the future, according to Android Headlines.
However, while these add-ons seem to be an opportunity for the users to be more productive on their phone, but there's a limited number of them. Google's Docs and Sheets add-on page on Google Play lists only have nine compatible apps, which is a far cry from the massive library available to desktop users, but it's still a good news, Engadget reported.
It's unclear what the future will be for add-ons beyond Android. Google made it known that they considered to bring the functionality to iOS.
Anyway, Google is having a stiff competition with Microsoft to attract users to its productivity suite, and the tech giants are working to bring the power of third-party applications into the apps that individuals already use to get things done.
