What is Google Docs?

Google Docs is a free service provided by Google. Google Docs is available with both Google Accounts and Google Apps Accounts. In order to use Google Docs, you must have a Google Account or Google Apps Account. More information can be found here.

Projects allows you to Export and Import your project data to Google Docs to backup or share your project data.
