One click to Docs, Sheets, and Slides
Tuesday, October 23, 2012
Google Drive is a place where you can create, share, collaborate and keep all your stuff. Of course, there are times you want to start a new document right away–say, to take notes in class or prepare a last-minute presentation for your boss.
To make it even easier for you to create stuff quickly, Documents, Spreadsheets, and Presentations–now called
Docs
,
Sheets
, and
Slides
–are available as apps in the
Chrome Web Store
. Once installed, shortcuts to these apps will appear when you open a new tab in Chrome.
If you use a
Chromebook
, you’ll see Docs, Sheets, and Slides in your apps list by default following the next update to Chrome OS in a few weeks.
