For about 30 minutes yesterday, astute users got a unique glimpse at Google Keep. Google Keep is apparently Google’s answer to Evernote. What’s more, from the screenshots we see that Keep might also replace Tasks. There’s not much else available, since Keep is now disabled. I’d periodically check https://drive.google.com/keep/, to see the enabled functions, but I’m also… Continue Reading

How to: Create a Simple Pleading with Google Drive
One of the reasons I’m loving Google Drive more and more is because it’s moving me away from MS Office dependence. Admittedly, I won’t be fully MS-free, since my practice management software depends on MS Office to generate documents and use my calendar. Still, I find myself doing more and more with Google Drive. Don’t… Continue Reading
Back to School: Android Apps for Law Students
Hopefully you 1L, 2L, and 3L students still have some glimmer of summer left. My first-year glimmer and enthusiasm quickly faded, and by second year, I was a full-fledged member of the “get me out of law school” secret society. We had our own handshake. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy my time at… Continue Reading
The Droid Lawyer Goes Mobile: Day 1
As you know, I’m taking an extended family vacation and driving from our home in Oklahoma City to my parent’s home in California. In sum, we’ll likely spend a lot of time “on the road” in close, cramped quarters. That said, I’m also going to be trying to get responses to two big motions out the door.… Continue Reading
Google & Quickoffice, A Match Made in Heaven?
I’m a fan of the Google Drive (formerly Google Docs) system (except for this little reason or this one). I like that I can open, edit, create, manage, design…, well, you get the picture, documents, presentations, spreadsheets, etc, just like I do in Microsoft Office. Now, to strengthen its mobile document platform, and Drive, Google acquired… Continue Reading
Weekly News Round-up: What You May Have Missed in the World of Android
Sometimes it’s nice to have weeks that fly by, at other times, it’s kind of a nuisance. This is one of those times that I can’t believe on Tuesday I felt drained, but by Friday, I’m wishing it wouldn’t end. The world of Android seems busy too: The biggest news, at least to me, is… Continue Reading
Another Reason Lawyers Shouldn’t “Drive” Google Drive
The “do no evil” mantra of Google is out the door. If you’re a lawyer who is considering using Google Drive as your Dropbox alternative, I suggest you stop, or at least check the Google Terms of Service. From the TOS: When you upload or otherwise submit content to our Services, you give Google (and… Continue Reading
Go Nowhere Fast With Google Drive
“Hooray,” I thought as I quickly typed in drive.google.com in my Chrome browser. Like a kid on Christmas I eagerly looked for my free 5 GB of space and anticipated upgrading to 1 TB ($49.99/month). Alas, like every “secret” product, it seems that Drive is only available to the privileged few, which doesn’t include me.… Continue Reading
Are You Going to “Drive,” Drive?
As expected, Google is launching it’s Dropbox competitor, Google Drive. The service will offer 5 GB of cloud storage for users. I suspect this will coincide with a lot of Google’s cloud service, such as Docs. So, my question is, will you be signing up for Google Drive? If so, how much do you think… Continue Reading
