Google Docs

Pros

I couldn't survive a single day in my career without Google Docs. It is user-friendly, the collaboration options are better than any other platform.

Cons

There are very few things I dislike about Google Docs. With the recent addition of improved tab options, any issues I have had in the past have been addressed.

Pros

Google Docs allows for sharing and collaboration capabilities that competing writing processors don't have, or don't do as seamlessly. I also particularly like that I can access my Docs across all of my devices with native applications, which includes the new desktop application for Macbook.

Cons

There are some specific formatting features that Google Docs doesn't have, which I may need to use on occasion. In these instances, I am forced to switch to Microsoft Word. Something more specific to my own workload is that I wish the text formatting features could be more in-depth. I specifically wanted to change a passage of text I pasted from another document to my Google Doc's "Normal Text." However, I wanted to keep the italics in place, and not have them overwritten. I was forced to do this manually instead.

Reasons for Switching to Google Docs

Pros

It works as expected, and is going to be compatible on most modern devices, whether mobile, or in the studio (or office).

Cons

It’s owned and operated by Google. This is just not a company I’d trust with personal information or documents. The nature of our work doesn’t really share such things with Google though. So, I think we’re safe.

Pros

I love the fact that I can access Google Doc's anywhere. I also love that work is saved every once in a while without having to click on "save". Gone are the days of "oh crap! I forgot to save!"

Cons

At first Google Docs was not very user friendly but most if not all kinks (that I know of) have been worked out.

Pros

I like that Docs can be edited in real time by multiple people and that you can track the changes people make. I also like that there's a historical record and it's really easy to leave comments and tags for others.

Cons

It's hard to think of something I don't like.

Pros

It is very easy to use and its cloud features are great. It's super intuitive I recommend it more than any other apps.

Cons

Maybe that it doesn't have many functionalities towards design, like few fonts and stuff like that, but not a big deal.

Pros

Easy to use app free as well I can share documents after I view with others through the app and links to my Google spreadsheet app calendar etc

Cons

My only downside is not being able to access if im not connected to Internet.

Reasons for Switching to Google Docs

Pros

Every single thing about Google Docs is collaborative, and that is a must-have feature nowadays. All work is automatically saved, the revision history allows me to look back through every single keystroke, and there are so many collaborative features that allow me to work with colleagues in a variety of ways. All documents can easily be shared, copied, and modified in quick fashion. I honestly like everything about this product!

Cons

There isn't much to dislike here. If pressed, I guess that I would say that there could be more template options to work with, but that is a very minor complaint. Everything about this product seems well thought out.

Pros

What I like the most is that the document auto-saves, and if anything happens to the computer or any device I am working on, the file will still be in the drive. I won't lose it.

Cons

There is one little thing I still don't know how to do, and it is to activate a dark mode in which the page turns black.

Pros

That I can access my files from any device and anywhere in the world as long as I can access the internet. Can't say the same for files I create on the software available on my PC.

Cons

No internet. No files. Wish there was a way I could use it with no internet. Or can I?

Pros

Google Docs delivers a great comprehensive package at zero cost. The ability for this software package to work easily across platforms and be so easy to use everyday has been a major plus and is why this is used on a regular basis to maximise output of my colleagues

Cons

There needs to be a tutorial package on the systems showing how to get the basics and most out of the system. For those who have used rival systems before it can take a while to adapt to the new system.

Reasons for Switching to Google Docs

Pros

I think you probably have to live under a rock if you don't know the gist of how Google Docs works, but I love Google Docs and use it for everything at work. I work remotely and often need to have a number of staff work on numerous reports at once. Google Docs is seamless for collaboration, if someone messes up you can always go into the history and fix it, and sharing is easy. Additionally, the @ feature where you can assign a comment to a coworker is the best thing ever invented. Microsoft is trying to replicate, but their online sharing is such a mess compared to Google Docs, and their products are way too complex for the output they give you. I swear by Google Docs and Google Sheets at work.

Cons

The only thing Microsoft has over them is the spelling and grammar tool. Google's unfortunately is subpar at best. Whenever I need to do a grad school project, I literally type the whole thing in Docs and export it to Word just to make sure the spelling and grammar is up to par. I would love to not have to do that anymore, and I can tell they are working on it. Once they figure out how to improve that, Google Docs will be a perfect product.

Pros

I can organize and share in Google Drive. I can also customize editing vs. viewing rights.

Cons

Sometimes I have trouble finding docs if I haven't organized them well. I appreciate that there is a feature that informs of recent documents that you have been editing.

Pros

Google Docs is almost unparalleled when it comes to document creation and sharing! The ability to add comments, go into feedback mode, make tasks from comments, are all crucial and things I use weekly if not daily. I love how by default margins and page breaks are gone since it's rare we need to print things at this point.

Cons

I think Google Docs could go even further into the world of digital-only files. One thing I would LOVE for them to implement are collapsible sections so that documents are much easier to navigate and scan through. If I have three massive sections to a Doc, I'd like to hide the other two to focus on the one I'm working on. Also please implement a Latex integration for math and rich text in the form of code blocks.

Pros

I didn't have money to add Microsoft 365 to my laptop, so I used Google Docs for free.

Cons

I have a system that I use, which will not allow me to use Google Docs.

Pros

Since I used this program, I prefer it a lot because it allows any sharing of my data. In a safe, easy and simple way, which led to rapid development in work performance. However, it has many helpful tools that you can use on the mobile phone as well.

Cons

In fact, I can't see any flaws in it since I used it and it works so well that I always recommend it to my colleagues.

Pros

Best platform to manager documents and have them coedited across teams, organizations. Flexible and understandable UI on top of easy online editing. Almost every user has years of experience or familiarity with the tool.

Easily extends filemanagement via apps on other devices and even phones.
A lot of integrations available with existing CRMs and other tools.

Cons

Sometimes copies can become annoying and get to be created mistakenly or due to sharing complexity.
The tool works only online. Some utilities are done in an interesting manner which is not straighworfard.

Pros

Producing plays requires a huge amount of team work. Collaborating on cast lists, costume inventories, prop plots, set designs and more are made far easier using Google docs. It's so easy to have all parties able to work on the same document, seamlessly, adding comments, tracking versions and seeing who commented what using tags

Cons

Offline editing gets a little tricky for those with multiple accounts but overall it's great

Pros

The most important feature that I like about this platform, that you can easily edit any document and the original one stays as it is.

Cons

There are some features that are missing in this platform such as, the the feature of taking many steps to edit other documents.

Pros

It's easy to use and it's 100 percent free. But it's not only a place to store, create, and manage all your documents and files but you can share them with anyone you need.

Cons

There wasn't anything I didn't like about it.

Pros

I think DOCs is a really useful tool that should be taught from school. Being able to work in the same document with a team or even with customers in real life is very helpful in productivity and creativity

Cons

I think this tool is quite good the way It is
