All of the iWork apps manage to strike a great balance between feature set and ease of use. If you're tied into an Apple ecosystem consisting of Macs and multiple iOS devices, and iCloud is your main syncing service of choice, Pages, Keynote, and Numbers will serve you well. Not only can you share Google Docs files with others so they can view and edit them, you can see what changes they're making live, which makes Google Docs a great option for workgroups and teams that need live collaboration options. And when it comes to collaboration, Google can't be beat. You can easily share documents or export them from the apps and online. There, you can view all your Docs, Sheets, and Slides files in one place, and they'll sync anywhere you can access Google Drive, including any desktop browser. Dropbox integration isn't something Google or Apple offer (though that may change in the future thanks to iOS 8's third-party storage provider support), so if you're tied into that ecosystem due to file sharing or some other factor, Office may be the best option for you. You can also link Dropbox and pull files from there into any of the Office apps. Microsoft Office syncs with Office 365 so you can access all your work on the web from anywhere. (You can also use Continuity to Handoff documents between devices as you go.) All of Apple's iWork apps also support the most popular file formats and let you easily share what you create via email or by sharing an iCloud link. That means no matter what device you create something on, you'll be able to access it on any other iOS device or Mac that's linked to your account.
Syncing, sharing, and collaboratingĪll of Apple's iWork apps tie in with iCloud. Google Slides can't really offer any of that. Both support inserting images, videos, and other kinds of objects as well as the option to choose from many great looking templates. Keynote and PowerPoint run neck and neck when it comes to creating presentations. You can choose themes on the web and then they'll sync down to the mobile version, but again, not very convenient. Basically, you have to pick from Google's pre-made slides and be happy with text-only slides with no image support, unless, of course, you are okay with finishing things up from a web browser. You can add text into existing text boxes but there isn't a way to add, move, or edit them. Slides are technically "editable" but not functionally. Still, there is more than a little value in the app’s core goal of making Google Docs a more app-like and Mac-like experience.Unfortunately Google Slides doesn't provide as great of an experience as either Keynote or PowerPoint do.
GOOGLE DOCS FOR MAC DOC OFFLINE
That’s particularly disappointing – offline access through some sync mechanism would be a killer feature in RocketDocs for anyone needing to work on the road. The other missing feature, which is more surprising and more limiting, is that it doesn’t support offline editing. For companies, schools, and government agencies that have migrated to Google Apps from Microsoft Office, this makes RocketDocs a non-started in many ways. For individual users, that may not be a problem.
Currently it doesn’t support Google Apps accounts. RocketDocs does have two general limitations, however. Like other apps it can be accessed from the Dock as well as the Mac’s menubar. It supports some key Mac/Lion features including full-screen editing, multi-touch gestures, and drag-and-drop editing. The app, which costs $5.99 and is available in the Mac App Store, offers the ability to use a dedicated app rather than a browser to work with documents in your Google Docs/Drive account. Tricky Duck announced the latest version of its RocketDocs app today.
