I've been using googledocs for quite some time and LOVE it! I even spent a great deal of time uploading files from 4 jump drives into googledocs so I wouldn't lose them. I love that I can open documents wherever I go. However, I feel like I'm in a transition phase. I don't use it all the time, mostly because gmail is blocked at my school so I have to use an override, which only lasts a few hours. Another drawback is that I have googledocs linked on my googlesite so students can't open documents in school, again, because it's blocked. My website is unblocked but they aren't able to open files.
I also spent a lot of time collaborating using google docs during many of my online graduate courses. We worked on powerpoints together using googledocs. It was nice because we could work together despite being hundreds of miles apart. The draw back is the lack of face to face communication and problem solving.
Overall, google everything rocks! :)
