google-docs-filesIf you haven’t started using Google Docs as a substitute to Word or Excel, or at the very least start using it at minimalist level you are living under a rock. We have been using it for the past year and the improvements that have been made during that time period have been incredible.

One of the best features is the online collaboration. You can upload or create a document and share it with an individual or a team. Same goes for being paired up with an individual for a school project or a group project. You can even have chat sessions within the document. You will be able see the other person updating the document right before you very eyes.

As an added effort to boost their document system Google has added some key features. These are the main ones:

  • Upload any file
    Over the next couple of weeks, we’re rolling out the ability to upload, store, and share any file in Google Docs. Your files will be stored in their original format and downloadable from anywhere. Uploading files to the cloud allows them to be safely stored and accessible at all times.
  • Shared folders
    Now you can simultaneously share a group of docs with your friends, coworkers, or family, by sharing an entire folder with them.
  • Bulk upload
    Upload multiple files quickly to your Docs list.

You can go to: What’s New in Google Docs to read the rest of the feature list.

I recommend Google Docs for any business or student. Or at least give it a try. It won’t cost you a cent.
