Google has just updated its G Suite of apps which was earlier known as Google Apps for work.

The new features focus on supporting more of the existing workflows in larger companies and bringing more of Google’s smarts to these apps.

The G Suite will now have a few new productivity features. From upgraded voice commands to Slack integration for Google Drive and Google Docs, the G Suite now has a handful of new features.

Last month Google has launched Explore in Docs, Sheets and Slides — with machine intelligence built right in — to help your team create amazing presentations, spreadsheets and documents in a fraction of the time it used to take.

G suite has introduced Automatic feature, the automatic feature only works in Docs on the desktop, though, while manual assignments work in Docs, Sheets and Slides on desktop and mobile. Once you assign something to somebody, that person will get an email.

The new “File upload” feature also added to the suite. With this updates, your respondents can now upload files from their computer or Drive — all of which are neatly collected for you in a new Drive folder.  Note: This feature is only available for G Suite customers in Forms shared within their organization.

Spend less time typing with a set of new voice commands. G Suite added more ways to format and customize content with commands for changing text color, deleting words, inserting links and comments, plus a number of other ways to format, hands-free.

Google has partnered with Slack to make it even easier to work with Google Docs files.

With a click of the "+" button in Slack, you can bring files from Drive directly into a conversation with your team, or create new Docs, Sheets and Slides files right from Slack. You can check out more details on Slack’s blog.
