May 2, 2011 at 11:06New features in Google Docs - fill entire folders and drag & drop
Google developers continue to sharpen Google Docs for universal file storage, a program for viewing and editing these files. Which is pretty logical in light of recent news about the summer launch of Chrome OS . This time, the changes affected file upload capabilities in Google Docs. From now on, you can upload not only individual files, but also entire folders ...
Another innovation, the ability to upload files in Drag & Drop mode directly to the main file list. For the sake of such a thing, the Google users screwed up a new dynamic panel of file upload statuses, which pops up when a new file is added.
Let me remind you that 1GB of additional disk space on Google costs $ 0.02 per month or $ 0.25 per year (the minimum package is $ 5 per year for 20GB). Well, much less then ?! Undoubtedly, compared to DropBox prices — the minimum package of $ 99 for 50GB, prices in Google Docs seem very attractive! So I want to shout to them: "When do you finally screw on your DropBox analog ?!". At the moment, I miss this particular function for a complete transition to Google Docs as a file storage.
