Pros / Cons
- The ability to work from any device ,share documents instantly and see real time updates has made both personal and work projects much more efficient. While there are occasional limitations with formatting and performance on slow internet, the convenience and flexibility outweigh the the drawbacks.
- The only down side I see on google docs is that when I open other documents originated in Microsoft or apple documents they tend to lose their format like the spaces, headers, etc. But nothing that can be fixed quickly.

- The feature I appreciated most is how seamlessly everything syncs across devices. Whether you are on my laptop, phone, or tablet, my files are always exactly where I left them, updated in real time without me having to think about it and provide great customer support and value for money.
- The cons include reliance on internet, potential privacy concerns due to Google's data model, shared storage limits, and occasional speed issues, requiring careful management of security and offline access needs.
