Google Docs Folder Upload Now Available

Tweet

Google is ramping up its cloud computing capabilities with new Google Docs features. Now, users can upload entire directories of documents, spreadsheets and presentations in one go.

Google previously launched a drag-and-drop interface for uploading documents in conjunction with its Chrome browser (using HTML5). This adds to the ease by which users can upload files. Now, with a latest update, Google adds a new upload menu, which features entire-folder uploading.

When you upload a folder, the directory structure is preserved, so this is a good way of replicating, backing up or working on your documents directly from any computer. Google Docs also lets you upload files and folders simultaneously through drag-and-drop.

If you’d rather use desktop doc editors than a browser-based word processor, spreadsheet or presentation app, you might want to check out Google Cloud Connect. But if you have a lot of documents to manage and you work using several computers, then Google Docs is one option.
