Browser-based apps provide the flexibility of being able to access them from any device, without the need to install any software. This is not necessarily a bad thing, however. The main drawback to Google Workspace, in my opinion, is that all apps are entirely browser-based. This post is to share how I created a more “desktop-like” experience with the browser-based Google Workspace applications. I won’t get too opinionated on this topic, however. Microsoft’s native desktop applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are undoubtedly much more powerful and feature packed than the web-based Google Workspace apps, but I find the user experience of sharing and collaborating on documents with Microsoft Office to be not as enjoyable as Google. What I love about Google Workspace applications like Docs, Sheets, and Slides is the simplicity with which files can be shared for collaboration with people (both internal and external to your organization). I did have some experience with Google Workspace (then called GSuite) prior to my current job, but the bulk of my professional career has been with companies that used Microsoft Office. I started a new job recently, and was pleased to learn they used the Google Workspace suite of applications for daily business tasks.
