It seems that Google has decided to make it easier for its users to create different types of documents. And it is that, if before it was necessary to manage everything through the Google Drive service, where in addition to creating sheets of text and tables it is possible to store them in the cloud, now just use the individual applications you just launched. A real help for novice users who are looking for a certain function in each application, although it may mean redundancy on the same device.
This way, Google launches applications Google Docsand Google Sheets Two sections of Google Drive individualized and made application to focus in the creation, edition and review of these types of documents exclusively. In addition, soon it will join, also as an individual application, Google Slides to be able to create all kinds of presentations comfortably through a tool dedicated only to slideshow
Its operation is very similar to that seen in Google Drive, however, the differences are noticeable from the moment each application is opened . Thus, instead of showing all kinds of documents and folders, both Google Docs and Google Sheets presents the selection of last consulted files or created to quickly access the last point where you left off.Although it is always possible to create a new document from scratch or edit one of those already stored.
At this point, both applications feature the same options and editing tools A wide variety of types of letters, colors, shapes and options to create documents full of content that can also be carried out in group form, together with other users who make changes in real time. The same happens with calculation sheets or tables, being able to apply all kinds of formulas to keep accounts of any issue or write down data in an orderly manner.
One point that Google emphasizes is the possibility of using these applications in offline mode or without Internet connectionA utility to avoid losing productivity on trips or displacements and that allows you to load and save all the changes and editions made once you have a connection again, without the user user has to worry about nothing more than carrying out their tasks.
These applications are totally optional, being able to download them or continue using Google Drive to carry out the creation or edition of these documents. Of course, when accessing this application, announcements about the new individual tools will soon be displayed. However, the possibilities of managing all these documents in the cloud, and the creation and editing tools will still be there for those who want to have it all collected in one place
In short, a curious movement that seems to be focused on making things easier for new users with applications GoogleTools now fully available for download free via Google Play ( Google Docs and Google Sheets) and also in App Store (Google Docs and Google Sheets ) to focus exclusively on these types of files.
