Google Docs

Google docs is a relatively new website for storing files online. Not only does it allow the storage of files, but it allows the user to edit the file online without having to make multiple copies of it. It is a free website that can manage files of different types including text documents, spreadsheets and other basic file formats. Not only are these files accessible to the person who uploaded them, but the person can also invite other people to work on the project as well. Google docs can be very helpful for business use. Many times when a company is working on a project, multiple employees are sending different files in email attachments each time something is changed on the project. With google docs, this is no longer a problem. Instead of email attachments from everyone, one person can start the project on google docs. Once it is started, they can invite whoever else they need to work on it as well, all in the same document. This makes everything much more organized because instead of having so many copies of such a similar thing, you can have one copy that is revised by everyone. Google docs can also makes storage of documents much easier. Now, instead of caring around usb drives and other portable hard drives, you can just save files to google docs. From there, you can access the file from any computer over the internet. The only problem is that if the internet is down, it is not possible to get to your file at the time. Because google docs is more of a file storage website then a social networking site, there are no real social, news or entertainment functions.
