Google Docs is one of my favorite productivity I’m using to create awesome Documents in Online and Offline. You know Google Docs is easy to use and absolutely free. I’m not sure about the Google Docs users storage limit but according to the reports, users can create up to 5,000 documents of up to 500 kilobytes each.
According to Google, you can type up to 1.02 million characters in Google Doc. If you convert a text document to Google Docs format, it can be up to 50 MB. I’m sure this could be bare enough even if you are a heavy user.
On this post, we aren’t discussing Google Docs limitations but my favorite Google Doc features I think it’s special for me and you could be too. Here we go.
