Google Docs homepage has been given a facelift - and the keys to the best organization of your sheets, documents, presentations, and even photos and videos are a system group called Collections and a filtering system which can be refined by type, visibility and sharing.
And, of course, you can always still search.
For just about a year now, users were able to download virtually any type of file in Google Docs, which creates a better system for the Organization and the location of these files. Google took "Records," integrated "tags" system used in Gmail and changed the name of Collections. Files live in several collections and via the right click button, users can control what is visible where: stars, adding to hide the home page and so forth.
Three features that I like best:
A new way to select multiple files for a lot of change to caps or CTL/CMD + click functionality. The path to the precedent of those pesky boxes which had marked a single file at a time, has disappeared.New preview pane on the right side of the screen gives the user information about the file, including its location, its sharing settings and information about versions. And when a video file playing, the clip can play directly from the preview player.Viewer slide show of photos, which provides a larger preview of an image file and creates a film through the bottom with other images in this collection.
As always, Google will implement the new Docs look in the coming days, with the first wave underway today.
Sam Diaz has nothing to disclose.
