Google Docs Plus!

I love the new look of Docs+!  I have long been an enthusiastic proponent of the collaboration-enabling, cloud-based, free platform.  Now, they have given Docs a Google+ stylish makeover, that makes sorting and sharing quite a bit clearer and more intuitive.  Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be availble to Apps users yet, or to non-plus Google profiles, so I can't really make use of it at work (and I am getting a little tired of signing in and out of personal and business accounts)

But, the new Docs+ adds quite a bit of functionality, from a "Circles"ish sharing to much more intuitive and robust sorting and filtering features.  There is also a new icon set, and the whole interface just looks clean.

Here are some keyboard shortcuts:

  • up and down arrows will highlight documents to open
  • shift + T creates a new text document
  • shift + S creates a new spreadsheet
  • shift + C creates a new collection
  • "?" opens the shortcut guide
