What is Google Docs?
Google Docs is a free Web based application in which Documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations, Forms and Drawings can be created, edited, shared and stored online. Files can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection anytime and anywhere.
You can add collaborators to your documents either by sending them the link to access the Docs online or add your friends or group’s email addresses.
Google Docs is so easy to create and share online, and you can decide who can view and edit each document. This is so very useful to everyone from students to working professionals but most especially for a virtual assistant like me.
What is Google Drive?
If you’ve used only Google Docs in the past, Google Drive is now the new home for all your files and folders including your Google Documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations, Forms and Drawings.
This means all your files that were previously stored in Google Docs will now be available in Google Drive. And this is all in one place to create, collaborate, share and keep all your stuff.
What excites me most about Google Drive is the 5GB FREE storage and safekeeping of all my files that I can easily access everywhere I go even without carrying any USB or external drive with me and no more worries of losing or corrupting it, or being infected by viruses. This is so great and very helpful in my daily work.
You can follow with me with this very easy and simple step by step tutorial on how to use Google Docs-Drive.
