I wasted a few minutes the other day searching for a spreadsheet in Google "Drive"...because by default only "Docs" are selected and for whatever reason that refers only to "Word" style documents now, not spreadsheets. Especially confusing since people still call it Google Docs, so when you open it and it just says "Docs" you're just thinking, "yes, I'm on Google Docs" not "I'm viewing only Word style documents". Terrible.
- wpietri 11y agoI'm so relieved to learn it's not just me. Google has spent years building a magic search box that finds everything I want. I have no idea why they decided one day that spreadsheets were so thoroughly not documents that they would only sully the search on docs.google.com.
- wodenokoto 11y agoIsn't that because you went to docs.google.com instead of drive.google.com? I really don't understand why they have docs, sheets etc. as different google services, with their own domains. Maybe they just want to mirror the mobile apps, but even there, why do I need to download 3 distinct apps?
