My students and I use gmail file storage to bypass the university and distance learning file limitations network rules. An important limitation to note, is that when files are passed through the google file system, advanced Microsoft documents are edited to a more basic format unless special steps are taken to make sure they stay in Word or Microsoft format — probably as a size management strategy by Google. This means that some formatting, footnoting and higher levels of academic document preparation are edited out of the files when they pass through Google. If you just spent two hours formatting the references in your thesis or dissertation, you don’t really want all that work removed when you send it to you faculty advisor who evaluates it.

Just thought I would let you know, from the trenches of the academy.

Great show! Keep up the good work and kindness to kitties.
