It’ll even work with Drive links pasted directly into emails.<br /> <center> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBPK-L_SNLqzKn2j0xweuzRKwYuLhM7R2Ns1OPcfTo94zv0QXFZdfzM4LrNXfzXBluwG-JMZK7OnUwZvjlWyq-wfQkKj25g0YpSvNBVH2-f6fd6dlpqKODrBGWrRRPyEK0FqEXIfoljDo/s1600/drive2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBPK-L_SNLqzKn2j0xweuzRKwYuLhM7R2Ns1OPcfTo94zv0QXFZdfzM4LrNXfzXBluwG-JMZK7OnUwZvjlWyq-wfQkKj25g0YpSvNBVH2-f6fd6dlpqKODrBGWrRRPyEK0FqEXIfoljDo/s1600/drive2.png" width="500" /></a></center> So whether it’s photos from your recent camping trip, video footage from your brother’s wedding, or a presentation to your boss, all your stuff is easy to find and easy to share with Drive and Gmail. To get started, just click on the Drive icon while you're composing a message.

For example, they've moved away from relying on paper forms and long email chains by using Google Forms and Google Apps Scripts to create paperless processes that are more efficient and more trackable. <br /><br />Last, Jeff Harris demoed some Google Drive features like shared folders and Google documents features like the research pane and contextual spell check, showing how the power of the web is used in Google Apps. <br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/tORDNB13zJo" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />Follow the <a href="https://plus.google.com/b/117578386194324385666/117578386194324385666/posts">Google Enterprise</a> and <a href="https://plus.google.com/b/117578386194324385666/112893701314508522131/posts">Google Docs</a> Google+ pages to watch future Hangouts On Air and stay up-to-date on the latest news.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Julia Harter, Google Enterprise team</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://drive.googleblog.com/2012/06/hang-out-live-on-air-with-google-drive.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Google Drive Blog:Hang out – live on air – with the Google Drive & Docs team&url=https://drive.googleblog.com/2012/06/hang-out-live-on-air-with-google-drive.html&via=googledrive'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://drive.googleblog.com/2012/06/hang-out-live-on-air-with-google-drive.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://drive.googleblog.com/2012/06/hang-out-live-on-air-with-google-drive.html' data-url='https://drive.googleblog.com/2012/06/hang-out-live-on-air-with-google-drive.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://drive.googleblog.com/2012/06/hang-out-live-on-air-with-google-drive.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/community' rel='tag'> community </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20Blog' rel='tag'> Google Drive Blog </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='2436414316506511195' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://drive.googleblog.com/2012/06/google-docs-may-in-review.html' itemprop='url' title='Google Docs: May in Review'> Google Docs: May in Review </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Wednesday, June 6, 2012 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> April showers bring May flowers, along with a bunch of new features and updates to Google Docs.

Drive is also an open platform, so we’re working with many third-party developers so you can do things like <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bocmleclimfnadgmcdgecijlblfcmfnm">send faxes</a>, <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/okgjbfikepgflmlelgfgecmgjnmnmnnb">edit videos</a> and <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pplbmgaodhjmbklkgkgmlghaekcfhhkk">create website mockups</a> directly from Drive. To install these apps, visit the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/collection/drive_apps">Chrome Web Store</a>—and look out for even more useful apps in the future.

Starting this month, we’re going to make some small changes to how we communicate what’s been happening in the world of Docs. Instead of writing blog posts for each and every minor update, we're going to try bundling them together monthly to give you a detailed overview of our favorite features and a short list of other notable changes to make sure you don't miss out on anything new.<br /><br />On that note, we’ve got a bunch of new features that launched today, as well as some great things that improved over the month of January.<br /><br /><b>Customizable styles in documents</b><br />Giving your document consistent and beautiful formatting should be easy. Before today, if you wanted to update all the Subtitles in your document to look a particular way, you had to change each of them one at a time. That’s too many steps. Now you can <a href="http://support.google.com/docs/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=116338">restyle</a> all your regular paragraphs, headings, or titles with just a couple clicks. For example, if you want to update all the Subtitles in your document to be a particular size, set one Subtitle to that size, select it, right click and choose <b>Update Subtitle to match selection</b>. This will change all the Subtitles already in your document and automatically update the style for any new Subtitles you create. Plus, with the new <b>Options</b> menu in the styles dropdown, you can set the current document’s styles as the default for new documents or you can load your default styles into the current document.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><b>Sparklines in spreadsheets and more charting options</b><br />In Google spreadsheets, we’ve added more charting options and support for <a href="http://support.google.com/docs/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2371371">sparklines</a> to make it easier to communicate data. The <a href="http://support.google.com/docs/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=190676">new options</a> give you a bunch of tools to create more sophisticated charts including different Y-axes on either side of the chart, formatting options for the axis and title text, and all sorts of other customization for how your lines, bars, or pies are displayed. We’ve also added sparklines, which let you display line or bar charts inside of cells and are handy for presenting and comparing data in a simple, bite-sized way. In the example below, we’ve used sparklines to plot currency exchange rates over a 30-day period.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2V_tarxXgosu-OVMa9JsOt-6LSxVNUmGFWq_g4x3mv7lWAHjM1YTYF1ZIu4px76_OZEzLJVoskX3NPHF2sruRYMYrqWNr3V5Rv1OXSr6eFqD3BtxlSaAn2BJAFWRINQ3Y4IQrZWWMDQk/s1600/jan_sparklines.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2V_tarxXgosu-OVMa9JsOt-6LSxVNUmGFWq_g4x3mv7lWAHjM1YTYF1ZIu4px76_OZEzLJVoskX3NPHF2sruRYMYrqWNr3V5Rv1OXSr6eFqD3BtxlSaAn2BJAFWRINQ3Y4IQrZWWMDQk/s640/jan_sparklines.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></div><b>Sharing forms on Google+ </b><br />Sharing the forms you create in Google Docs with the right people shouldn’t be a hassle.
