Google Makes Folders Shareable in Docs
After using Google Docs for a number of years, I'm still amazed at the fact I can easily share individual docs and make other users collaborators. Well now Google Docs is getting even more sophisticated thanks to its ability to share an entire folder.
So now if you're working on a project with a co-worker, or an assignment with a fellow classmate, you can easily share the entire folder with them so they can access the docs or spreadsheets within that folder.

Use Google Doc's New Fitness Template For Tracking Workouts
Just like Gmail labs, Google is always adding fun and useful template ideas to Google Docs. The latest ones that caught my eye are the workout templates, which were designed by fitness expert Karon Karter.
Just like other Google Doc templates, you can access Karon Karter's personal cardio training docs, weight training docs, and Pilates training docs for free.
Have Some Holiday Fun With Google Docs
Why spend a small fortune on things like holiday cards, gift tags, and festive mail labels when you can get them all for free on Google Docs? Google Docs offers a great selection of holiday templates that include the holiday snowflake postcard, address labels, holiday gift tags, and video card templates. And if you're like me and you need an updated address list for friends and family members, there's even a template that makes it easy to gather addresses.
Do You Use Google Docs?
If you haven't tested out Google Docs yet, what's stopping you? The spreadsheets were indispensable for me over the last few months when I collaborated with friends on a party and planned a trip out of town with several friends — my boyfriend and I even use it to make grocery lists (watching someone edit your doc simultaneously is endlessly fascinating).
So I was shocked when I read that only 1 percent of users utilize Google Docs, and that people are still using Microsoft Office.
Google Docs: Now Totally Pretty
Did it ever blow your mind when you first started using Google Docs, and you watched your friends edit the document at the same time you were viewing it (it obviously did mine)? The only thing that has never blown my mind is the bare-bones look of the docs.
Sure, they got the job done, but I would never deny I wanted something pretty to look at.
