New in Google Docs: Upload, store, and share any file
Starting today, the millions of Google Docs users creating and sharing online documents and spreadsheets can now upload and share any type of file, making it easier to access content on the go.
Google Docs lets people create, edit and collaboratively share personal and business-related content online. Users can access files uploaded to Google Docs from any browser, anywhere in the world. Combined with shared folders and multiple file import and export, it is easy to use Google Docs to collaborate and share files with coworkers, teammates, and friends. Now, instead of emailing attachments to oneself or colleagues for “back-up”, Google Docs users can upload content to a shared folder and access content from any computer.
Users can utilise 1GB of storage for free, with additional paid storage available. Files up to 250 MB each can be uploaded in their native formats (uncheck the “convert” option while uploading). Although only Google Docs formats can be edited in the cloud, most common filetypes are viewable with the Google Docs viewer, and all can be shared and accessed from any connection and at any time.
