ü The comment function of Google Docs is interactive.

ü Google Docs is a free service.

Ø Cons:

First of all, the layout ability of Google Docs is still slightly weaker, if you need complex typography, it is better to use Microsoft Word. Second, because Google Docs is a web version, there is no client software, so it is not suitable for working with large files. If you have a 100MB Word document, imagine that the web page is loaded and synchronized in real-time, which requires good hardware and network environment.
