Communication is a vital aspect of any organization, company or group. With the rise of the internet, face-to-face meetings are now being replaced with emails and shared documents. Although this is a great way to save time, it can still be frustrating waiting for replies, whereas in person, you can get an instant answer. Thanks to the speed of real time, we can now share, view, and edit documents with coworkers or classmates instantly! Below I will introduce 3 useful tools that will help you save time and get things done quickly!

1. ThinkFree

With ThinkFree, you can either choose the web version or the download version that allows you to work offline.  You will get up to 1GB of storage space for all your documents. Go ahead and create your documents free of worries because everything is Microsoft Office compatible. You can easily create word documents, spreadsheets, or power point presentations. Even if the receiver does not use Microsoft Office, they are still able to view the document through the free ThinkFree viewer.

2. Zoho

One of the big highlighted features of Zoho is the capability to create groups, making all your projects and meetings more manageable. You can also collaborate with any coworkers or classmates through private or group chats. Other highlighted features includes: 1GB of online storage space, create folders and tags, secure file sharing and much more. You can also upload files directly from Google Docs to work on.

3. Google Docs

You can find Google Docs under the Google start page, in your Gmail account, or just simply Google it. Similar to ThinkFree, Google Docs also allows the user to create word documents, spreadsheets, and power point presentations. However, it doesn’t end there! The option to share drawings and forms are also supported by Google Docs. With cool new features being release, and even more under construction (see a list here), you can definitely make online meetings more manageable and fun. Click here a tour of Google Docs.
