Google Docs supports MANY file types:

(far more than just .doc, xls and pdf — seriously, take a look below… you’ll be surprised. I sure was)

Also:

  • Because Google Docs is FREE!
  • No need to deal with conflicting file types: platform/version, etc etc.)
  • Your files will always be securely available online (to you and others you authorize to share)
  • You’ll always have the latest and greatest versions- no need for upgrading ever again!

Take a look at the additional file formats they’ve just added:
