Google Docs is a free web-based word processing application like Microsoft Word. All files are automatically saved in the cloud, so you never lose anything and can access your work from any computer, anywhere, using only a web browser. In my opinion, this alone is reason enough to use it. Google docs also allow using the templates at https://docsandslides.com/googledocs/magazine/ to make work easier. A month ago my computer crashed. However, all my files were saved in Google Drive, so I didn't lose them.
