Google Docs for Android: Create and Edit Documents

Google Docs is a document editor for Android that lets you create and revise files, share them with others, and work together on the same document. It can suit students, teams, and anyone who needs to write or review documents while away from a computer.

Write, review and collaborate

Use the app to draft a document, make edits, or add comments and action items. When collaborating, people can work on a document in real time, which is useful for shared notes, plans, and drafts that need input from several contributors. Templates are available to help you get started with a familiar document layout.

Work with files and offline

• Open and edit Microsoft Word files in Google Docs.
• Convert and export files when you need to use another format.
• Use offline mode to keep working when an internet connection is unavailable.

These options make the app practical for reviewing a Word document on the go, capturing an idea, or making changes before sharing a file with a group.

Installation and additional features

Google Docs is free to install. Some additional features, including Gemini in Docs, AI-powered writing suggestions, and image creation, are available to paid Google Workspace subscribers.
