While Google Docs has risen to become one of the most popular word processors around, there’s more to it than what you can do with a keyboard and mouse. The app for iOS and Androi has a number of interesting tricks up its sleeves — and a few unexpected limitations that you won’t find in the web app version that’s optimized for internet browsers.

Let’s show you how to make yourself look like a Google Docs wizard, no matter what device you’re using to connect to it.

Navigating the mobile version of Google Docs

In a nutshell, Google Docs is like Google Drive (download for iOS or Android), but specific to text documents. So you will see a lot of similarities between the two a mobile apps, when it comes to navigation and overall visual design. Like Google Drive, you can switch between different Google accounts by tapping on the hamburger menu in the upper left, then tapping on the profile picture.

In fact, if you want to go directly to Google Drive, this menu has a link right to it at the bottom that will open the Google Drive app on your device, if it’s installed.

By default, Google Docs will display your files in a grid. This lets you peek at the document before opening it, but you may prefer a list instead. If so, tap on the three-dot menu in the upper right, then select “Sort By” and choose “View as List.”

You can also browse via the search tool by tapping on the magnifying glass in the upper right, and you can pull files from your Google Drive account into Google Docs by tapping on the folder in the upper right and selecting “Google Drive.”>>>>>>>>>https://tricksmentor.com/2019/11/how-to-make-the-most-of-google-docs-on-android-and-iphones/
