Although you can still create, view, and edit documents offline on Google Docs, you would need to have an internet connection to sync the changes across your devices. This isn’t the case however with Google Docs. You can easily create new documents while offline and then upload them onto the cloud once you go online. If you need a word processor to use offline, Microsoft Word is the best option for you. Both Google Docs and MS Word can be accessed on all major platforms, that is, Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can as well get MS Word from Microsoft 365 at a yearly fee of $70.Īlthough Google Docs is free, it is not as feature-packed as to MS Word. On the other hand, Microsoft Word is available as part of the Microsoft Office suite which can be purchased at a one time fee of $500. Enterprise users pay about $5 per month but this package will not be needed if you are going to use the platform as an individual. Google Docs is available for free to everyone who has a Google account.
