Google DocsReviews 26

Google docs is kind of annoying, for multiple reasons:
- If you want to insert a textbox, then you'll have to go to "drawing" then make one, and then paste it. There isn't an easy way to do it
- When inserting images, even with fixed formatting, half of the images disappear, or else they decide to go all over the place.
- It sometimes freezes for no reason

However other than that, if you just want to write a few paragraphs, then it's fine. It works in the way that it is a place for documents, as well as an easy place to share your work. There are also templates that you can use.
Overall, I'd say that you can use it - but be prepared for challenges.

In college, for shared documents, Google Docs was always the way to go. It made group projects easy to share and avoided the "File to Large" error in emails. However, it can be tricky when sharing a document with multiple people at the same time. I think this might simply be user error more than product error, but I haven't exactly had the best of luck when multiple people are editing. There were format errors, the words were not being underlines to indicate incorrect spelling, the curser for other people's typing would be in the wrong place, pages would merge, etc. So, as the title of this review states, I think Google Docs is good in theory, for people using it simply as their form of Microsoft Word, since it is a free service. However, for working in groups, it's not exactly the "best" way to go. Hope this helps!

All students will understand the pain of having to revise and complete work at home, and that was always really difficult for me because I didn't have Microsoft Word on my laptop. When Google Docs was recommended to me, I wasn't expecting it to be so similar to Word! It has all the features of Word, and honestly, I think it's better. Not only that, It's free! It's ideal for those who need to type a document but cannot afford to pay for Word.

I thought that it would be really hard to convert the file to a Microsoft Word file, but it's actually really easy! All you need to do is download the file from Google Drive and it will automatically convert it. I would absolutely recommend it and other Google apps.
