Google Docs is one of Google’s built-in applications. You can find it on your Chrome homepage, in the upper right corner. Next to your Google avatar, you’ll see nine square-shaped dots. If you click on it, you can find all the tools that Google gives you for free. If you use your phone, you need to install it from Google Play.
This application is fantastic for taking notes or writing documents. It’s similar to Word but “hardwired” to the Google system. So wherever you are, as long as you have your Google password, you can access your documents from any device.
The app syncs and stores all your documents in a cloud, so your phone storage can be free. Plus, you can easily print, edit, and share your documents. As you work on your paper, the app automatically saves it at short intervals, so you never have to save it manually. Even if your device turns off, your paper will be safe in your cloud.

If you want to save as much money as possible, using discounts is not enough. Of course, buying something at a lower price saves money. However, if it’s something you didn’t really need in the first place, you’re wasting money even with discounts.
