Google Docs is an online word processor, part of Google Drive, that lets you create and format text documents and collaborate with other people in real time. Here's what you can do with Google Docs:

• Upload a Word document and convert it to a Google document.
• Add flair and formatting to your documents by adjusting margins, spacing, fonts, and colors — all that fun stuff.
• Invite other people to collaborate on a document with you, giving them edit, comment or view access.
• Collaborate online in real time and chat with other collaborators — right from inside the document.
• View your document's revision history and roll back to any previous version.
• Download a Google document to your desktop as a Word, OpenOffice, RTF, PDF, HTML or zip file.
• Translate a document to a different language.
• Email your documents to other people as attachments.... More Info »

- Like Google Docs, Nuclino allows users to collaborate on documents in real time, but instead of getting lost in folders, in Nuclino these documents are structured in a visual and easy-to-navigate way. It's like if every Trello card had its own Google Doc. lynjensen • Aug 2018 • 12 agrees and 2 disagrees

- Paper is faster and easier to use than Google docs. Docs becomes very slow to load when dealing with long documents, and that's where Paper really outshines it. Paper does have a comparatively limited feature set, but I think it does include the real necessities and the things it leaves are not really missed for me.

about Google Docs · Jun 2011 · Helpful Not helpful Report as spam

Running Google Docs with the Prism add-on for Firefox. So it has his own shortcut in the taskbar. With the 'Fixed-Width Page View' it replaced my always slow OpenOffice.org office suite. The only thing I miss is the lack of 'real' pages, now your unable to see where you are on the page.
