Let me just open it up and I'll show you which one it is. So don't be surprised if you've already got it installed, but it's called Office Editing. Īnd inside the Chrome Web Store, if you were set up on G Suite by the itGenius team, we've probably already deployed this for your team. And so to do that, you just have to go to the Chrome Web Store. So if you want to completely abolish Microsoft from your business and we have done this, don't have to do it, but if you want to save on licensing, then you can actually edit and work with Microsoft documents within Google Drive.

So not only will it allow you to store them in there, so you can have them just kind of like sitting in the drive and you can open them in the Microsoft documents, but you can also use a nifty little plugin called Office Editing and actually edit your Microsoft documents within Google Drive as well. Google will also support Microsoft Office documents within the drive.

You can have all your Google files and all of your non Google files in one place. So you don't have to manage multiple different folder structures for all of your files. Now, I understand in some cases you might want to still be sharing with customers using Dropbox, but with Google Drive specifically for keeping all of your internal files safe, it makes it much easier. Well, not all my customers have Dropbox or I want to make it easier for people. Īnd so if you have an opportunity to consolidate your files by moving your Dropbox stuff into Google Drive, then I would strongly recommend that.

So we're big proponents of keeping everything in the one spot rather than having it spread out over disparate systems. Google Drive actually has all of the features that Dropbox has, and it makes it really easy to use when everything is in one place. If you're someone who's still using Dropbox, well then you might consider switching over to using Google Drive. And what that allows you to do is have all your work across all of your devices.

Google Drive, as we all know started on the web, then they built an app similar to Dropbox that allows us to work on the desktop as well. What's up guys ? It's Pete Moriarty here and I'm traveling around and of course running everything remotely, as we love to do.
