Didn’t love this service right away

Ease of use

Collaboration capability

Disliked

Fewer features than Microsoft Office

I use it at work. At first after Word it was a little unusual, but then I mastered the program and got a taste of it. It is not necessary to save the document every time so that it is not deleted. Sharing settings are definitely cool. Although sometimes some paragraph editing features are missing

Rescue those with iOS or Linux

I don’t know why I didn’t get the obvious decision to use GoogleDocs instead of Libre Office on my Ubuntu earlier. It’s the same as Microsoft office, only free and online

Disliked

You must have an application on your phone, otherwise you won’t even put a full stop and you won’t fix a typo (in other words, you can’t edit it). Annoying to have to have an app for such a little thing

Why haven’t I used this before?

All for nothing

Unstable (but rare)

When I was writing "multi-ton reports" I forgot to save in Microsoft Excel, and automatic saving did not always help (they often turn off the electricity). After a couple of such cases, I completely switched to Google Docs. Lots of chips for free. Thanks to the developers!

I have been using it for several years for a wide range of tasks: technical assignment, business requirements, drafts of articles, instructions, and more. In the process of work, you can connect colleagues using personal or shared links, everything is simple and accessible. Documents are stored on the disk, so it is difficult to lose them - folders and contest search save them. I almost forgot what MS WORD is!
