Google Drive: 5 clever apps for the office

There are many Google Drive apps for the office. In this practical tip, we present five clever apps that make work easier.

1. A cloud for the office: Hojoki

Hojoki connects different cloud services with each other.

• Many employees use different clouds - whether Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive.
• The Hojoki drive extension brings all clouds together and thus creates a synchronization between the different services.
• You can find more information on the developers' website.

2. Convert in the cloud: CloudConvert

Compatibility problems between different file types are a thing of the past with CloudConvert.

• Here, too, there are no possible compatibility problems, since the files are saved in uniform formats.

4. Process optimization: Business Processes Simulator

With the help of the Google Drive add-on "Business Processes Simulator" you can improve new processes and visualize them at the same time.

• The "Business Processes Simulator" helps you to simulate certain processes in the company. For example, you will find production bottlenecks or analyze personnel supply.
