I need assistance on deleting old documents that are no longer necessary, but it doesn’t have any instructions
Why the hell can I do it online and then make it so I can’t use the web to edit it? Download to lose more features ig.
I absolutely love using Google Docs for my work, especially when it comes to writing wedding scripts. One of my favorite features is how easy it is to share a document with my clients and let them make edits directly. It completely eliminates the back-and-forth process of sending revisions over and over.
My clients can simply open the document, make any changes they need, and send it right back—done and seamless. Since weddings keep me very busy, this saves me so much time and keeps everything organized and stress-free.
Honestly, if someone doesn’t have Google Docs, it just doesn’t feel as smooth of a process. And the fact that it’s completely free makes it even better.
I love it and will probably never stop using it!

This product is unintuitive. Simply figuring out why I can’t print a doc is a pain, particularly if I’m using it on my phone. The reality is, workers in a host of industries that don’t otherwise need laptops are forced to access important info via Google Docs on their phones, but this product is terrible on a phone.
This App is so much easier to use and access than Microsoft Word and I’m a Certified Word Specialist!
This app is mostly tragic and removes that vast majority of allowing customization. Want to turn off suggestions if you’re writing? Can’t do that. Want it to stop trying to autofill people’s email addresses? Can’t do that.
Want to turn off all the spelling suggestions? No. You can’t do any of that on this app. You can do it on desktop. But not around here, partner.

Storage sucks!
It helps me edit, and keep all my documents in order! Excellent! Thanks !

The old UI format was better and more accessible than this recent change. Specifically having the paragraphs and bullet point options right above the keyboard was more efficient and was easier to access than having to reselect and manually go though the paragraph options every time you want to make a bullet point. It’s just really annoying now.
Subbing for a teacher. Cannot access anything she sent me without requesting permission for every piece.
google services across the board keep telling me storage is full when it’s not. Ok. I’m not paying fir anymore storage! Fix this google
