Google Drive & Docs In 30 Minutes by Ian Lamont
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Thank you to the publisher, i30 Media Corp., and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of Google Drive & Docs In 30 Minutes in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
The Gist
I never gave much thought to things like online drives and being able to access files across various computers. At some point I thought it might come in handy, but that was about it.
Then we got thrown into the lockdown era, when working from home became the relative norm. I was amazed by all that could be done remotely and could have used some guidance on how to use Google Drive back then.
Anyway, I learned a little through trial and error and clicking a whole bunch of buttons just to see what would happen.
But, this guidebook helped me get a bit more confidence in using Google Drive without breaking into a nervous sweat.
The Details
I appreciated the tone of the writing. It doesn’t sound stuffy or condescending. It’s welcoming and patient in helping the reader get started.
The chapters are well organized. They are easy to follow and the author doesn’t shy away from admitting that some aspects, such as the mobile app, are beyond the scope of the guide and offers links to find more assistance.
The Verdict
Overall, this is a good place to start learning Google Drive.
