Google Docs is a great program to have around, partially becauseit’s around no matter where you happen to be. Just like most everything Google creates, it’s an impressively ubiquitous program that can be accessed through the cloud with ease. Rather like an angel, Google was born on a cloud. Here are three great reasons to pick up and keep up with Google Docs.

First off, tablets are a great way to take your work with you everywhere. While they aren’t the same as laptops, they do almost everything a laptop can do. However, there are going to be times when you just can’t take your tablet PC with you. Maybe you forgot it, or maybe it’s somehow malfunctioning. In those cases, Google Docs can let you work from any computer you can access right now and use a full keyboard.

Secondly, Google Docs allows you to share your work with your colleagues. If you’ve got something for them to edit but you’re not near them, forget sending it to them an e-mail. Just let them edit the file directly, and collaborate in the easiest way known to mankind.

Finally, Google Docs is ideal for Android. While the previous two reasons were more about the general utility of the program, let’s talk about how functional it is to be able to edit your documents anywhere your smartphone can get a signal. You can do this anywhere and at any time, even if it’s only a quick run through or adding another paragraph while you wait in line at the coffee shop. While a full keyboard might be easier for lengthy writing, you can’t beat convenience.
