Google Docs is one of Google's online word processing applications. It allows users to create, edit and present text easily on the Internet. Google Docs works based on the user's Google login account associated with the server. All content edited on Google Docs will be automatically saved by this tool.

A special feature is that this tool allows users to create documents online and share them for multiple people to view and edit at the same time. Besides, Google Docs also supports flexible editing when there is no network connection. However, Google Docs also has the disadvantage that users can often encounter some formatting problems, leading to errors in the process of using Google Docs.
