Google DocsDOCS keeps everything and everyone on the same page. Add artichokes to a shared shopping list, or put the finishing touches on your business plan from the lobby before the meeting, right from your mobile device.
SHEETS is more than just columns and rows. Don't just make a spreadsheet; share it to collaborate and stay organized together. Track your fitness plan, do fancy financial calculations with your team, or manage your fantasy league stats.
SLIDES is good for shiny 6-pagers or 600 page snoozefests. Not only does it have everything you need to pull together an awesome presentation but you'll never have to hit "save" again.
