Google announced today that "Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office" is now available globally for everyone!
Google Cloud Connect is a free plag-in that enables multiple users to simultaneously edit the same documents, such as Word and Power Point. As long as you have the plag-in, a Google account and the Internet connection, you will be able to use the full advantages of Google Cloud Connect.
Some of you may be confused about the functionality of this plag-in.
Simply put, you can enjoy the convenience of Google Doc without going into the document page online anymore!
You'll just have to open the shared file with a Microsoft Office program as you normally do, and be able to collaborate with other people. Isn't it great??
This service was released in November, but it had been available for only limited users. NOW IT'S FOR EVERYONE FREE OF CHARGE!!!
This innovation has the implication that online collaboration will be much more common at school, workplace and everywhere.
Maybe there is no need for setting up a meeting for a group project anymore...No more "what time can we meet?" conversation?
Google Doc has already made the online collaboration popular among college kids, but Google Cloud Connect will surely make the process much easier, accelerating the spread of this technology.
Here is the video provided by Google, explaining the key features of the plag-in. Enjoy!
