Google Docs

Google Docs is an online office site, similar to Microsoft Office, but one that runs as a web apps and thus all you need is a browser and an Internet connection to use Google Docs. -Amit Agarwal
Google Docs has its features like Microsoft Office. Users can easily adopt to its environment and functions since all of us are used to do our paper works in Microsoft office. The great advantage of this web application is that your files and documents would be stored in cloud. You can also upload your folder from your drive to  the cloud. Now, your storage of files would be bigger enough to hold all your files. You can also share your files to everyone (if you need to do this) or just make it private.
Google Docs has a lot of features that made me amazed. That is Google docs can view .zip files and .rar files online, it would e a great help for all the users that tend to compress their files to fit in to their emails. Now we don't need to download this compressed files in order to view it. We can now also drag and drop our files from our computer to the web ( For Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox ).
Google docs can also be used at the same time with Microsoft word, so that users can work with or without internet.
In my opinion, the creation of Google Docs is really a big help for all of us. We can use it whenever and wherever we want. It would be  an advantage for the users that doesn't have any Microsoft Word in their computers. They do not need to purchase that software just to edit their documents or files.
