Google Drive loses editing options in its latest update
The company Google takes a step back in favor of its new applications Or that is what emerges from the latest update of Google Drive, its storage service and, until now, also a tool for creating and editing text documents and calculation tables Because Google Drive has lost important options with the in order to publicize and compel the use of recently published new individual applications and related to this service.
A few days ago Google surprised us with the launch of two new applications: Google Documents and Google Sheets Tools that arose directly from Google Drive, from where they gave the option to create and edit these documents at will, with all kinds of features to create professional files, edit them without an Internet connection or even create them in a group watching the changes in real time. Some applications that allow inexperienced users to focus on one type of document or another individually and in an orderly manner. However, these features have disappeared from Google Drive, where they originally appeared.
Despite Google's announcement about keeping their storage service still available to handle all these files, the recent update toGoogle Drive has shown that this is not entirely the case.In this way, the application allows to manage, store and order these files, but has lost the options of creation and editing thereof. Of course, it is not definitive. A message alerts you to the existence of new applications to use if you want to create or edit a text document or spreadsheet.
After installing these applications, and despite being able to use them individually, the old creation and editing options are also available again in Google Drive An obligation that regular users of the Google storage system will not like where before they could already create and organize all issues without having to havetwo new applications taking up space on your terminals.
In addition, this update brings some minor news. For example, the menu has changed to accommodate the option Settings Other options have also been added to different menus within the documents that allow them to be refreshed to see if there are any new changes or the option to create new documents directly. Small adjustments to improve the experience of using the application.
In short, an update that some will like and others will dislike And, for many users, having all the tools for creating, editing and storing documents in the same application it's a big plus. A feature that allows you to have everything organized without taking up space in the memory and screens of the terminal. However, it seems an option designed for novice users who need a guide and more simplicity to create and edit text documents or spreadsheets separately.In any case, Google has decided to launch the latest update of Google Drive via Google Play free of charge
