Share your Google Docs product ideas with our team
Thursday, June 2, 2011
(Cross-posted from the Google Docs Blog.)
You make Google products what they are -- and the feedback you share with us every day helps shape the future of our products. We’re always listening to your requests via blogs, Twitter, our forum, and other channels, and for the next two weeks, we’re bringing back a more structured way to get your input on Google Docs by opening up our Product Ideas page.
On this page, you can submit your ideas, read other users’ suggestions, and vote up your favorites. We’ll use the top ideas to help us prioritize our development in the coming months. After the two-week period, we'll follow up with a blog post summarizing the results. While we may not work on all of the top ideas immediately, we’ll let you know which of the ideas we’re working on.
We hope you’ll use this as an opportunity to help us prioritize the Google Docs features which are important to you -- for your business, in the classroom, or at home. Start submitting your ideas, big or small -- we look forward to hearing what you have to say!
Editors note: We’re specifically looking to hear your Google Docs product ideas and suggestions. If you’re seeking help, please post your support questions to the Help Forum. Off topic submissions may be removed.

From a government users perspective, #1 on my wishlist is document management. The ability to enforce document retention based on labels would be huge for us. Also, the ability for administrators to search across the domain and see all documents and content to help us comply with legal discovery requests.
I hear these features are in the pipeline.
Requests from our user community:
1. Larger file upload limits
2. Remove the box, tagline and Google logo from the email notification and show display name and signature when Docs are emailed as attachments.
3. Support for watermarks and page borders.
4. The ability to "organize" into collections from the file menu.
I would like the ability to embed photographs in the blocks on google calendar, for people with learning disability to be able to predict forthcoming events.
Better compatibility with openoffice and microsoft office.
If you change a document with google docs now and open it with Microsoft or Open Office, chance is big that the original content is broken.
I would like to select the color for the event in Google Calendar and let the public see the color I have assigned. For example, I run an events calendar at a university and would like to make sports one color, activities another color, lectures another color, etc. But I want everyone who views the calendar to have the advantage of the color coding.
Problem: There are times when one doc is shared across many people, but sections of that doc have to be hidden/shown from/to a subset. For example, if in a report section-1 and section-2 needs to be shared with only A and B and section-3 and section-4 needs to be shared with only B and C. The only way now is to create two separate g-docs (one for section-1 and section-2 and another for section-3 and section-4) and then share them separately with A&B and B&C respectively. And after the collaboration is done, join the two separate g-docs to create the report.
Wishlist: I would like to have a way for the creator of the g-doc to specify sections of the document to be shared with different people.
It would be helpful if the highlighting when marking text could be darker.
The very pale blue currently used is too hard to see on laptops.
Can you PLEASE make it so that unwanted SPAM shared documents (such as the daily hundreds of shared Chinese documents (I don't know Chinese)) that I have to remove every day have a way of being filtered out, or possible a way to block certain sharers? A quick Google search on this matter shows I am far from the only frustrated one here........
Forms need the ability to pull data from spreadsheets to populate their submissions. ie a product list is in a spreadsheet (that will be edited as products are added and removed) and the form offers the option to select from the available products on that spreadsheet as an answer. Ideally the ability to pull information from several spreadsheets into a single form would be supported. This would add an incredible amount of flexibility to GoogleSites as well.
