What is an AWS file?
An .AWS file is an Ability Office Spreadsheet file. These AWS files contain the spreadsheets created in Ability Office, an office tool software developed by Ability. This software is used to create spreadsheets, presentations, databases, and you can edit photos. Ability Office can load files from Microsoft Office 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007, and 2003.
