Setup Office 365 on your Android phone or tablet

Modified on Fri, 8 Sep, 2017 at 11:56 PM

 Your Android phone can sync your Office 365 email, calendar and contacts. Additionally, you can add the OneDrive app which will allow you to access (open/upload/edit/share) files from your Office 365 storage (OneDrive for Business). We also recommend adding OneNote and Lens.

IMPORTANT: Add the new Teams app and enjoy the new chat-based workspace!



Setup email, calendar and contacts

  • Add your Exchange email account (ActiveSync) to your Android phone
  • During the process you may be prompted to accept the security policy; this is vital and will allow your phone's security to be managed by you in the event of a lost or stolen phone
