Google Adds Thumbnail View To Doc’s

Earlier today, Google added new features to the Google Doc Tools:

• Thumbnail view in the Docs List which allows you to preview your Docs.
• Spelling correction when searching for a doc.
• Upload any file limit increased from 250MB to 1GB.

Editions Included:
Standard, Premier, Education, Team and Partner Editions

Languages Included:
All languages supported by Google Docs

While the standard “list view” displays the item title and information like sharing state, the thumbnail view displays small previews of your files. We generate thumbnails for all Google Docs types and most common files (photos, PDFs, etc). You can toggle between the two using new buttons on the top right of the toolbar.

When combined with search by relevance, the thumbnail view makes it really easy to find the file you’re looking for.

And for all us spelling-challenged and typo-prone folks, we added spelling correction in search. Never again will you need to wonder how your search for “agedna” (agenda) came up with zero results.

Finally, Google recently finished rolling out the upload and store any file feature, so everyone should now be able to upload, store, and share any file in Google Docs. Google has also increased the maximum file size based on user feedback, so you can now uploads files up to 1 GB in size. Very nice!
