What's it doing in a cloud?
As the amount of time we spend online continues to rise steadily, and always-on internet connections become the rule instead of the exception, businesses and consumers are switching to cloud-based productivity tools like Google Docs for word processing tasks (if you need a Chromebook to get the job done, we've got you covered). Although Google Docs might not have the advanced technical features of Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer, it's easy to use and available on every device that can connect to the internet, which is enough to make it the text editor of choice for many.
One of the first issues new users run into with Google Docs is how to save their work. To save documents in a traditional word processor, you'd select Save from the File menu or click the floppy disk icon. In a cloud computing environment like Google Docs, you don't need to manually save a document because Docs saves it to Google's cloud with every tap on the keyboard.
How to download your Google Docs documents
Sometimes it's not enough that a document is saved and ready for retrieval from the cloud. You may need a text document in a specific format to send to teachers, editors, clients, or hiring managers. The process of converting your Google Docs document into a traditional document format is simple.
