Google Drive - an Updated Version of Google Docs

As you probably know, Google Docs is now Google Drive.  If you are using the Chrome web browser, you can get Google Docs, Spreadsheet, and Presentation from the Chrome Web Store.  When you open a new Chrome tab, the apps will appear.  That means you can access your Google Drive with a single mouse click.  I added the three apps, but Presentation is not visible (Chrome told me that I had added it).  That is not really a problem, because when you open a new Google Doc, you still have a choice of the document type.

Another new feature is that Google Drive is a free app for the Android and Apple iOS devices. So, similar to Evernote, you can easily access any of the documents in Google Drive from your mobile devices.

We discussed Google office apps in the 4th edition of the Informatics and Nursing textbook.  That information is a bit dated now. The short video below provides an overview on Google Drive.
