Dear Reader:

Having access to your files wherever you go is very important. After all most of us wander around “connected” wherever we happen to be. However it doesn’t make sense to have a copy of your files on all your computers and portable devices.

That is where “cloud storage” comes in.

Here is some good news for you! Google has made it easy (and free) to store and access your files anywhere using “Google Drive”.

But it doesn’t stop there!

Google has a full suite of tools that you can use to create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, forms and drawings!

You have some good functionality in all of these applications, and they can be exported for use in other programs. For instance you can create a document in Google drive and export it to Word or Open Office. This gives you the ultimate in flexibility!

But here is the VERY best part. You can share your files with others. You can restrict them to view only (for sending pictures to your friends for instance) or you can set them to have editing authority.

By doing this you can have multiple people working on one project and it always stays in sync!

For instance if you were hiring two people to write an ebook. One is to write a section on SEO and the other on video marketing. They are each to put their content in the chapters you already created for each of them.

They make their changes and the document stays in sync across all of the accounts. Everyone has the same content at all times! Once they are done you can revoke their privileges if you want to.

You never have to worry about multiple copies getting mixed up again!

This type of collaboration works for all of the project types!
