Don't assume anything with evolving Google Docs

[RV_]

As Google Docs evolves, you may discover that the things you know about Google Docs are no longer valid assumptions.

 

Excerpt:

 

"Assumption 1: Documents take up storage space

(Reality: Native Google files don't. Other files do.)

 

In the days of desktop computing, when you saved a document it took up space on your system. When you store a Microsoft Office document, PDF, or video to Google Drive, the file counts against your storage limit.

 

But files in Google formats, such as a Google Doc, Sheet, Slide, or Drawing, don't count toward your storage quota on Google Drive. You can create as many Google-native files as you like. In other words, while a Google Doc won't use up your storage space, a Word document will reduce the storage space available.

To save space, you can convert Office files into native Google formats when you upload your files to Google Drive. That way, these files won't count against your total available Google Drive storage space."

It goes on to cover:

 

Assumption 2: You need a keyboard to type a Google Doc

(Reality: No. Instead, you can talk.)

 

Assumption 3: To learn how to use Google Docs, read the support pages

(Reality: Support pages help. Illustrations and videos do, too.)

 

Assumption 4: People need a Google account to see a shared Google Doc

(Reality: Not necessarily.)
