Google Drive/Docs and Cloud Printing.
In the previous article I talked about the new and exciting world of Google Plus. Google Drive, Docs and Cloud Printing are some of the key components of this platform. Google Drive is an extension of Google Docs and it's folders can sync with like folders on your hard drive giving you the ability to access these files from anywhere. They start you out with 5 gigs but you can upgrade. The collaboration feature allows for real time updates and you can see who is working on the doc. From inside the email client I can video chat, and make phone calls to add more features. Docs is really set up to be MS office in the clouds. All programs from ms to open office function here. Google Cloud Printing allows smart devices to print to wireless printers. Some new printers have this eprint feature but Google Cloud Printing acts as a buffer and will work even if the printer is connected through the pc. Your Drive/Docs can also be shared and viewed in the Google Plus Hangout tool(streaming video). This allows for the collaborations to take on more of the personalities of it's originators. For small and home businesses these tools can be a money and time saver.
