A Google Docs documents list refresh
Posted:
Monday, January 31, 2011
Files stored 100% on the web can be accessed from any computer or device and shared with co-workers with ease. Over the past year, many of you have been taking advantage of the ability to upload any file to Google Docs. With more files and a variety of file types in one place, organizing and quickly being able to find what you need becomes even more important. As a result, we’re happy to announce that, over the next couple of days, we’ll be rolling out a refresh to the documents list, aimed to make it easier to find, explore and share all your files. We’re also rolling out big improvements to our back-end systems to make your experience in the documents list faster and smoother.
Google Apps for Business customers who have the “Enable pre-release features” option selected in the control panel, and customers of all other editions will start seeing the new interface within a few days. Google Apps for Business customers without the “pre-release features” option selected won’t see this improvement for a few more weeks. More details can be found on the Google Docs blog.

How about...a folder on my Windows computer that syncs up with Google Docs, a'la Dropbox? Or...can I flag files in Google Docs to be cached locally on my Android phone? Like videos and music that I've uploaded to Google Docs?
ReplyDeleteAs the following links show many users are unhappy with the developments being rolled out at Google Docs, the documentation and the integration of the Google Apps suite of products.
ReplyDeleteI am actually a fan in general of Google and Google Apps but these issues are causing many of us in the real world so much pain that I feel people should be made aware of them. Most dismaying is that Google don't seem to have the staff to make the changes needed - see mid page 2 for details.
