The book I read to research this post was Google Drive & Docs In 30 Minutes by Ian Lamont which is a very good book that I bought from kindle. This is only around 90 pages so is rather short and of course is only a brief overview on this subject. Google Drive used to be cloud storage and Docs was there free integrated office software on the cloud. Nowadays Docs just refers to the word processor and the whole package is Google Drive. Google also have a separate cloud storage service so it makes it less confusing. Drive incorporates 15 GB of storage for free and a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation software. It doesn’t generally have all the features of Microsoft Office but for most things is adequate. It also includes what is essentially your own free website for storing work. It is great for several people working on the same project and also form building is relatively simple. Sheets the presentation software is lacking in professional looking slides compared to Powerpoint. Many people import these from Powerpoint. Docs has a similar variety of features to Word but Sheets isn’t quite as good as Excel. I did enjoy reading this book although it’s a shame it doesn’t get more in depth. I think I would recommend it.
