How to open online documents in Google Docs
Tips Web Services / / December 19, 2019
Continuing the theme of using Google Docs online service, raised in a recent article by Alexei Melnikov "Create a new Google Docs files from the Explorer menu"I would like to highlight this issue as the viewing of documents in the office suite.
If we need to open a document stored on the hard drive, then the algorithm is clear - we simply load it into the online viewer Google Docs. But if we need to open a document that is stored on the Internet, then we will have to first download it to your computer and then send them back to the online viewer. Make it the fastest way and without unnecessary operations, you can use several useful extensions, which we now discuss.

Displays also opened document size.
