Google Docs users will soon be able to work with photos, audio and video materials

The participants of the Neofocial Blog Google Operating System found in an accessible part of the starting code of the Google Docs service application (in the Russian version - “Google documents”) the recharge files, creating playlists and recording collections, as well as the audiopleler, said RIA Novosti .

Among the icons of the "updated Google Docs", which are not yet involved in the service interface, there are also those that are customary to use in work with audio files (musical altity altity symbols).

The find of observation bloggers analysts suggests that a popular online service that provides the user with functionality for storing and processing office documents may soon start working with audio and video files, as well as photographs.

On January 6, Google Docs has added support for playing video files in MPEG4, AVI, WMV, MOV, WebM, etc. Formats. In addition, the updated Google Docs involves supporting images.

Such changes can be associated with the development plans of the "cloud" Chrome OS operating system. Chrome OS does not support the operation of any applications outside the same browser, i.e. The user does not even have the opportunity to view photos from a hard drive or flash carrier without using a web service. By introducing the appropriate functionality in Google Docs, the company will provide the user with a simple solution for working with all popular types of files.

The blog also indicates screenshots of the test version of Google Docs, which were accidentally demonstrated by the public in one of the official videos of Google. An important point in this video is a new service logo that no longer contains Google Docs, which reflects serious changes in the functionality of the service and how Google positions it (if the changes take place).

According to experts, in order for users to be able to effectively use new functions, Google will have to increase the volume of disk space available to the user on their servers (at the moment it is 1 GB).

The question remains how, ultimately, work with images will be implemented. At the moment, the user can add his files to Google Docs, but cannot edit them, for this you will have to use the company not related to Google Docs-Picasa.

The restriction of the Picnic graphic editor, regarding the use of Adobe Flash technology, means that, unlike HTML5 services (and many Google services are soon, including Google Docs), Picnic will not be able to work without connecting to the network.
