I'm in a Mac, I use Google a lot. It has a "google drive" app to download to my Mac. iPhones have the same to launch as an app. I don't use their photo section of "the waffle" (the 9 dots in upper right of google on my Mac). I mainly use "Sheets" (like Excel). I don't necessarily sync to an app on my computer but if you Google It 😂 I'm sure the how to is there.

[@LisaLissonAYMC]

As I'm do not have a Mac, it's nice to hear how a Mac user does it. Thanks !

[@ellensheerin2961]

I actually use Google Forms a bit too. My local group runs courses for Beginners etc and I use forms to get feedback from participants to make our course better. We sometimes have to nag a bit via email to get people to respond but they can be anonymous on their comments so I'm sure that helps.

[@ecpscience]

Lisa, Thank you for sharing your passion about genealogy. I too love learning about ancestors and all of the stories. I had never heard of Google Keep so thank you for that tip.

[@LisaLissonAYMC]

So glad you found it helpful!

Google Drive automatically OCRs all files and makes them searchable - I have many thousands of images of German Catholic Church records written in the old script - Google Drive allows me to search these images by Surname, Location, etc - I have photos of local cemeteries, I use Google Drive to search for names, etc on these markers

[@shirleyettascott4222]

Thank you for your generous informative video.

[@milissabk]

Is there any major difference between Google Sheets and Excel?

[@LisaLissonAYMC]

They are very similar to work with. Excel is part of the microsoft office tools which must be purchased. Not everyone has that.

[@user-kj5cf8zm9j]

I use google photos. Trying to use Google docs not sure what I'm doing?

[@ellis984]

Syncs up to MACs too?

[@PatriciaColeman-tn3zg]

I use Google sheets, drive and docs on my Mac all the time.

[@LisaLissonAYMC]

Yes!

[@ellis984]

@@PatriciaColeman-tn3zg Thanks. I’ve never used any of them. I use Pages for my word processing. Don’t know what the drive, docs, or sheets are. I do fine as, but who knows what’s down the road. If I need to send a document out, I just make it a pdf. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

[@ellis984]

Being only a MAC user, I’m not familiar with those you’ve mentioned.

[@stephaniecheevers9351]

Google access really has nothing to do with you having a Mac.

[@LisaLissonAYMC]

Exactly, it's not a Mac vs PC thing. Access to Google tools is web based and not dependent upon your system.
