Google Docs Upcoming Features: Cloud Printing, Third Party Apps & Syncing

"Landep News"
Google Docs is Google’s brought up for office editing suites. It is widely used because of its simpleton structure and it being an online app helps storing documents online. Some statistics show that people are using Google Docs more than their desktop office applications. And to maintain this bright, Google will soon be implementing new features to Docs.

Google Docs will soon be having three new features added – Cloud Printing, Third Party Apps and Syncing devices. All the three new features are what people most wanted and looks like Google is turning them true.

Cloud Printing
This is my favorite. Cloud Printing is the web-next feature based on Google’s Cloud Print API, which lets you print Google Docs documents to any paired printer in the world. This means no need to install crappy driver software and go through painful desktop apps process. Cloud Printing support has got encoder for almost all active printer models in their database and that makes the work very easy. This service will surely be limited to Google Chrome and Chromium OS for now, but look at the better side of this.

Third Party Apps
Google Docs currently supports basic office formats like documents, spreadsheets and presentations. But ever thought of editing a PDF file in Google Docs? Or an image editor? HTML editor? All this will be possible soon with support for Third Party Apps in Google Docs.

Syncing
Again, a feature currently limited to Chromium OS and Google Chrome only, with this you can sync the documents on your computer with Google Docs. Edit them from any part of the world and they are on your computer ready. Syncing was surely a very much needed feature and it still needs to be widened for multiple platforms, but for the start, it’s good.

All the three new features and some more unannounced minor changes will be active in a week or more. There are also some chances of them releasing in first week of December. Fingers crossed!
