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.

  • I really enjoy how it connects to the services I use, such as Microsoft Word and Excel and allows me to collate and manage content.
  • Device access setup was difficult to work through and determining how to use some of the more complex features was a time-consuming process, and I would have liked customer support to answer more quickly when we needed assistance onboarding.
