Thank you for joining today’s class! We explored how to easily move and convert documents between Google and Microsoft apps. These steps can help you manage your files across different platforms with confidence.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps

Import Microsoft Files into Google Docs

Open Google Docs, use the file picker to upload Word documents from your computer or cloud storage, and they’ll automatically convert to Google Docs format for editing.

Check Formatting After Importing

Some features, such as checkboxes or footers, may not transfer perfectly from Word to Google Docs. Review your document carefully and make manual edits as needed.

Download Google Docs as Word Files

To convert a Google Doc back to Word format, go to File > Download > Microsoft Word (.docx). This saves a copy to your device in Word format, keeping your original Google Doc intact.

Upload Files to Google Drive Without Converting

If you upload files directly to Google Drive (without using Google Docs to open them), they remain in their original format. You can choose to convert them later by opening and saving as a Google Doc.

Save and Organize Multiple Files or Folders

Google Drive allows you to upload multiple files or even entire folders at once. This is a great way to organize and store large amounts of documents from your device or cloud storage.
