Collaborating with Google Docs

By

If you have a virtual company, or if you are collaborating with others on a project, Google Docs is a great way to work together without having the annoying problem of documents getting out of sync. I am doing this with my team as we plan the Website Creation Workshop Live Event in San Diego.

Now I have talked about Google Docs before on this blog, but I love how this little video shows you how you can see others working on your document in real time.

Watch this short video introducing Google Docs:

I use Google Docs with my Virtual Assistants all the time, as it helps us plan out projects and new WordPress websites that we are building together, so we can all work together virtually.

    The enhancements to Google Docs look fantastic and take the application that much closer to being a standard for virtual collaboration.

    Thanks for sharing, Christina!

      Tassey,
      I couldn’t live without Google Docs! I also use Basecamp for collaboration, but for spreadsheet sharing, Google Docs is the way to go!

    Thanks for posting this Christine. I don’t have any virtual people helping me, but, I think this would assist me when I am at different computers around the house. It would save me emailing the document around and knowing which one was last edited. I do understand it correctly – right ???

    It might even help as my husband and I work on volume 2 of Movies About Women. Hmmmm – lots of food for thought. So much learning to do. I appreciate your tips.

    Live and Love in JOY…..S>

      Susan,

      you are exactly right! I should update the blog post with this point.

      Yes, I use multiple computers when I work around the house. And by using Google Docs, I can easily access my documents and always be working on the current version.

      I love the spreadsheets of Google Docs. The Word type of docs are a bit more limited, but still great to access from anywhere!

      :)

    Hi.. Im into IT and been working online for almost 3 years and yes googledocs has been a great help. But aside from googledocs dropbox too help compiling all your things but up to certain degree. Dropbox can able you to save your works online and made available anytime anywhere.. These two are my best choices in syncing and saving my files as well as doing my backups.
