You simply must know these tips for Google Docs, Spreadsheets and Calendar

October 10, 2020
Updated: December 6, 2021
Quick overview:

Nowadays, it is often worthwhile to Synchronize Outlook and Google Calendar can. This is supported by the fact that Google services are ideal for working with a successful organization. After all, Google's free online office services can now also be a high-quality replacement for the sometimes expensive professional software from Apple or Microsoft in many areas.

 

The advantages of Google Docs, Spreadsheets, Calendar etc. lie in particular in the possibility of collaboration between several people. They are usually easy to access and content can usually be shared without any problems. It is also possible to continue working offline in some cases.

 

What other tips are there for Google online services? An overview.

 

Google Cloud Print

In many cases, it can be annoying or inconvenient if you have to use the same PC for every printout you want to make because the printer is connected to it. However, Google Cloud Print can connect the PC to other devices via Wi-Fi, such as a smartphone or tablet. If a document is to be printed from one of these devices, this can also be done wirelessly using Google Cloud Print. To do this, both the PC and printer must be switched on and connected to each other by cable. In theory, it is therefore possible to print a document even when you are not at home.

 

Gmail

Gmail is Google's classic email service. E-mails can be sent, received and displayed directly upon receipt via notifications. One of the most useful features here is definitely that you can retrieve emails that have already been sent. After all, it has happened to everyone at some point that they have typed in the wrong addressee or mistaken one email for another. If you only notice this after sending, Gmail gives you a few seconds to undo the sending of the email.

 

The Inbox app for Android and iOS devices is also recommended in this context. Here, the flood of messages is better managed for Gmail. The app can automatically group emails, highlight or prioritize more important emails and make resubmission easier.

 

Automation through app scripts

However, the tasks that arise every day when using Google services can also be performed automatically, at least in part. For example, apps scripts can be used to encrypt emails or send them with a time delay. It is possible for file attachments from emails received to be automatically saved immediately in the cloud or on selected devices. Contacts can, for example, change their contact details and the changes are immediately applied to their own address book.

 

Google Scholar

One of Google's most helpful online services is probably Google Scholar. The name stands for a search engine that can search academic literature for specific search terms or subject areas, for example. The results displayed can then be used for further scientific work, for example by serving as citations or starting theses.

 

Further services

In general, however, one should not neglect how advantageous Google's standard services usually are. These include, for example, the image search categories, news and Google Translate. The new version of this for Android and iOS devices in particular has been revised so that foreign-language texts can also be photographed using the camera, whereupon the translator converts and translates them.
