Google Docs Editors is a web-based productivity office suite offered by Google within its Google Drive service. The suite includes Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Google Drawings, Google Forms, Google Sites, and Google Keep.[1] It used to also include Google Fusion Tables until it was discontinued in 2019.
The Google Docs Editors suite is available freely for users with personal Google accounts: through a web application, a set of mobile apps for Android and iOS, and a desktop application for Google's Chrome OS.
Competition[edit]
The suite mainly competes with Microsoft Office and iWork software suites.[2] It pioneered real-time collaborative editing since its inception in 2006, while Microsoft Office only introduced it in 2013.[3] The suite can open and write Microsoft Office file formats.
Availability[edit]
The Google Docs Editors suite is available free of charge for users with personal Google accounts. It is also offered as part of Google's business-centered service, Google Workspace, which operated as G Suite until October 2020.[4][5]
