Five Freelancing Applications must-haves for Freelancers

1. Google Applications

One of the top freelancing applications that every freelancer’s toolbox should include is Google Applications. It is a suite of web-based messaging and collaboration applications that Google hosts on its servers. In addition, Google provides these applications as a “service,” rather than as software to download and install. Therefore, you will use a web browser on a computer connected to the Internet to use these apps.

The Top Five Google Applications are:

1. Google Chrome
2. Gmail
3. Google Calendar
4. Google Meet
5. Google Drive

Other Google Applications are:

As well, if you’re going to, you can collaborate with multiple users to edit a document, regardless of their distance from you. Moreover, everyone with a Google account can use it for FREE. Plus, it works offline, so your data is never lost, even if you lost your internet connection.
