Google released a new Mobile office applications to function off-line work

Now, Google Drive becomes easy file storage and document handling will have to install separate programs.

Until recently, the service Google Drive was a sort of two-headed monster, being a one hand, file storage, and on the other - an online office suite to create and edit documents. This hybrid nature is not only baffled many users, but also seems to have hindered the development of the project. And quite recently, Google has taken a radical decision and divide this Siamese twin in two separate parts.

Changes concerned, first of all, mobile platforms iOS and Android. Now, when you try to edit the document from Google Drive, here's a pop-up window will appear with the invitation set special applications for editing text documents or spreadsheets, which are called, respectively, and Docs Sheets.

After pressing the button install automatically download, install and open the respective application. Google Docs text editor provides us with almost the same features as before, so that you can easily get a handle on its application.

In edit mode all available tools focused on the bar at the top of the screen. Here you will find not only the basic functions for formatting text, but also the ability to insert tables. But the way to add illustrations, I found that a bit strange. We hope that in future versions of these features will be added.

After the end of the text, be sure to click Done to save it. All your documents are displayed in the main window, sorted in chronological order or by title. Please note that the properties of any file you can enable offline access, and then it will be stored on your device and work with him and will be without the Internet. All changes you make are synced with the online version as soon as a network connection.

Thus, we see that all the editing tools have been removed from Google Drive in standalone applications, and he of the multifunctional harvester turned into a cloud storage solution, which makes it a direct competitor Dropbox. I so precisely delineated specialization seems to be much more convenient. And how do you like this Google's decision?
