Google Drive – online backup 4+

My daughter introduced me to google drive and docs years ago and I’ve not used anything else since. I love it!!!! It has all the abilities of other systems including much more costly ones like Microsoft office but is so much more convenient being able to save many versions, not worrying about saving regularly incase something happens and work is lost (I’ve done this thousands of times on other systems and sometimes cried about it!!! ). Being able to share documents we can work on together and view my documents on my laptop phone iPad or anywhere in the world means not carrying equipment around, memory pens etc. It’s always there, updates and saves on the go. I’m retired now but wish I’d had this available when I worked running a busy research unit as it would have saved me so much time and issues and carrying. Give it try, I did and will never go back. xxxx
UPDATE 2023 - Using it more than ever, and love it more and more. Great way to sort all my docs together, in easy folders. App so easy to use and whatever device I’m on or wherever I am I can get hold of anything I need. It’s my lifeline, thank you GOOGLE.

Getting simple answers has never been easy and especially as we age & have health problems makes even harder for all humanity. Past & present problems - services not available as I know from the developers to transfer files & folders to other cloud services or to move them from one to another. Recently made phone calls & had live chats with google experts and gave me the same answers and took them many hours to answer simple questions. I have an active google one subscription & thought I could move my stuff around from on place to another and that has never been the case. Anyhow I hope Google developers would improve the App somehow and deliver a more convenient & enjoyable way with many great features in the coming future as always stated over the phone , live google chats many times repeatedly said before after all that’s the sole reason I purchased it on monthly subscription. Help me & deliver more in the GOOGLE ONE APP and hear from you ASAP.

We use this app extensively for Destiny church in Newcastle UK. It’s brilliant and really encourages teamwork. Docs is as good as Word for 95% of everyday work.
Drive’s filing system helps organise and share files across the organisation. Sheets helps us track attendance - you have to build the spreadsheet though. And slides is a smart little ppt alternative. It’s the integration that is the main strength. Other programs have more features but Drive pulls it all together like no other app we have used so far.
For a growing church like ours it is an invaluable tool and we really appreciate Google supplying this for free. I can remember in the bad old days that a 'suite of programs' with half these features would have cost at least £30 / month for a team to use and was beyond the reach of charitable users like ourselves.
Thanks Google - good job!
