About Google Docs

What is Google Docs?

Google Docs is a free cloud based word processing system in which users can create word documents, store saved documents, and share documents with others to complete group work. The app is available free in both the Google Play Store and the App Store.

The Google Docs app brings the power of the Google Docs word processing system to the smartphone. Users can create and edit word documents right from their phone.

Google Docs is much like Microsoft Word, but also offers the powerful ability to share and sync documents with other users and edit them in real time, with all other team members able to view the changes the moment they are made.

The platform is great for group projects, as the whole team can see the document in real time. Google Docs also includes an autosave feature that saves the document when changes are made, so users never lose any work.

Along with the online features, the app also allows users to work on documents alone when offline. All documents are stored on the cloud, so they can be accessed from not only the app, but also from any computer with internet access.

Students and professionals alike acclaim the power of the Google Docs platform, and reviews for the mobile app version are no different.

Is Google Docs safe for my kids?

The Google Docs app is safe for kids who are old enough to have a Google account, as a Google account is necessary to access the platform.

Most kids who will need to use Google Docs will already be of appropriate age to do so.

The concerns that arise are the same that might arise from any messaging or communication app, as Google Docs allows users to communicate with each other and work together.

The Google Docs app offers great benefits to students and professionals working together in groups, as they can work on the same shared document and see changes and edits in real time.

Shared documents are not open to anyone, and users must be invited to edit, which gives users control of those with whom are working.
