The best thing about Google docs is that all the documents you create in google docs are saved on cloud storage provided free by Google. This storage is called Google Drive. Every Google account holder gets 15GB of free storage and then you can buy more at a very low yearly price. All the Google documents which you create on google docs does not count towards your 15 GB free limit. This is a huge benefit. Another feature of docs is that you can collaborate with your team members. This is an era of home-based entrepreneurs who collaborate with their customers from home or with the people who do gigs for their business. Google docs is a perfect way to do these kinds of collaborations. You can also buy paid version of google apps which is called Gsuite if you are running a company.

Some Details of Key Features of Google Docs:


  1. Lifetime Free Storage:

All the documents you create on Google docs will be saved on your google drive and these documents will not even consume your quota of free storage allowed by Google. This means you don't have to worry about losing your articles, your blog posts, your lecture notes, you project proposals, your reports or any other document which you create on google docs. This will give you a peace of mind.


  1. Collaboration with Team members:


Google docs provide an easy way to collaborate between team members. If you manage

teams or you have a lot of students to collaborate with, Google documents will help you

in doing that On one single document, anyone from the team members can put

comment, make suggestions or ask someone else to make comments or do approvals.

You can see the discussions and make informed decisions based on the feedback of

your team members.


  1. Version History of Your Google Documents:

All the previous versions of your documents are kept stored on your Google drive. You

have the ability to see all the previous changes, who made those changes, when the

changes were made, what discussion and suggestions were going on at the time when

document was changed etc.You can also go back to any previous version and make it a

current version.


  1. The ability to handle Images & Drawings:


Google docs has a wonderful ability to handle images and drawings. You can draw shapes and flow charts or even algorithms inside your Google document. You have plenty of shapes, arrows, lines etc available in Google drawing app which can be used from within your document. This is really powerful because you don't have to buy any separate software for drawing shapes and flow charts and flow diagrams. Google documents also have some options for basic operations on images. For example you can change the transparency of the image, the contrast and brightness.


  1. Doing Translations and voice Typing


In Google docs, you can translate your document into any other language almost

Instantly. There are many languages available and the process is very simple. This may

not be 100% accurate but you might need only few changes instead of translating the

whole document which can save you hrs. If you are a content creator, this can help you

in reaching audiences from other countries.

Also you can make documents just by saying something and Google docs will translate

that into text document. This is a powerful feature for transcribing videos or lectures.
