Why I love Google

Google offers a lot of really great services you can use for every facet of your life.

One of my new favorites is Google Docs. This past week, I was working on a really HUGE work project and lost a spreadsheet file related to my work.

I had been using Open Office Document to work on the file and it became corrupted and took all my work with it. It was a definite face palm moment.

I thought the document was gone forever, but when I checked online, I found a copy of the file had been saved online at Google docs. I had originally saved the file on my computer in the Google Drive folder and though it was not stored as a Google Sheets file, it still saved and uploaded as a read only copy to the web.

I was able to regain my entire work file and turn in my work with proof on time. For that reason alone, Google is my favorite

It's not uncommon for files to become corrupted or to be unusable in some way. That's why it's good to save a file as a new name every day. That way you will only lose that one day's worth of work. And yet, it's good that you were able to recover your work file. Accidents happen, especially with software like Open Office. I've had problems using that software too. I'll try out Google Docs and Google Sheets to see if it's comparable. Sounds like something I would want to use.

I was so happy to see my file again.

Using Google Drive saved my work. And, I would suggest you do the same thing. Keep your work files in the Google Drive folder and they will be automatically uploaded to Google Drive where they can be accessed or recovered from any computer.

It's a very useful way to keep track of photos, files, spreadsheets, etc, whether business or personal.

I'm sure that I have used at least five of those Google products in the past week alone. There are so many good uses for Google, though their privacy practices leave much to be desired.

I'm starting to like Google+ a lot more now. Some really fun things to read. And, not as pretentious of a site as Facebook. Easier to get followers too.

Google Drive is also my favorite among the services of Google. It is very convenient especially when you are a writer using different computers. It’s just sad that Google had stopped its support of Google Drive for Windows XP. It so happened that our desktop wouldn’t agree much with Windows 7 so it remains in Windows XP after 8 years of existence. My folders in Google Drive can still be accessed but I cannot save there any more.

I love google as it helped me to find https://allbestbrides.com/czech-brides/ and get married on a woman i met there. I just googled for "dating web site" and found it. After years of loneliness, i am not single anymore. My woman loves me and take care of my son.
