There is one big problem with QuickOffice which I hope Google fixes. The minor one is that they ignore the Android AccountManager and ask for credentials directly. Once they have an access token, it is sent to one of their servers which accesses the document and does any necessary conversions.
Or in other words any cracker who can break into their servers can copy the access tokens and use those to access documents, Google, Dropbox etc. I would be astonished if QuickOffice is the first company in history to have perfectly secured servers. Also note that if this happened you'd be extremely unlikely to find out.
QuickOffice do not disclose this behaviour - it was only when I started a back and forth with their customer service over AccountManager that they mentioned it.
