Learn how to use the most popular Google apps with these easy to follow step by step guides!

Stay in touch with family and friends

Gmail is Google’s free email app and is one of the most popular email services in use today. It also ties into most of the other Google apps such as Google Calendar and Contacts. This book was written to help get your account created so you can start sending emails as well as show you how to manage your incoming mail.

Create and share your documents online

Google Docs is a great (and free) alternative to Microsoft Word and allows you to create documents online and access them from any device connected to the internet. You can then share these documents with others and have them edit them in real time making it easy to ensure you always have the latest information.

Online file backup and sharing

Online file storage or “cloud storage” has been around for some time and Google makes it easy to backup your important files as well as share them with others for collaboration purposes with their free Drive app. You can even use the Drive desktop client software to keep your files synchronized between your computer and the cloud.

Online photo storage and sharing

Now that everyone uses their smartphones as their camera, it makes sense that you would want an easy way to backup and share your photos and videos with others. The free Google Photos app allows you to do this as well as order custom photo prints if you like to have a copy that you can hold in your hand.
