Previously it was Google Docs but now it is known as Google Drive. It provides you best combination of simplicity and
functionality. Due to upgrade in Google drive space, previously it provided 1

Drive.google.com you will see the file management interface with some of the
pre loaded file. There you will find the options like upload the file, Create

Windows Live account to log in to it and after just that you can start office
file creation. It provides you page setup option in it which is fixed for
Google drive as A4. It provides you 25 GB of free storage with almost 42
installed fonts. The biggest limitation in it is that it only support Microsoft
format of file, making this incompatible for mobile document and the document
which need processing on multiplatform. It won’t give you file management
function it. You can’t export the file as different format as Google docs will
provide you import format+ PDF format export. You can start it right now by
visiting SkyDrive. Live.com

ThinkFree

As already mentioned you can use the
Google account to log in to ThinkFree office suite. After log in you will
notice Microsoft office classic look of 2002 here on it. It has lots of
features inbuilt and greater flexibility to think. The Online space you will
get is 1 GB and you can use the installed more than 290 font in it. It support
all Microsoft as well as non Microsoft file format. You can collectively import
the document but not export the entire document at the same time. Like
Microsoft live office, this also doesn’t have file manager function in it. You
can go to Thinkfree.com for this.
4.
Zoho
Zoho support Zoho, Google and Facebook
account to log in it. Zoho is the great online tool specially for account and
business based system for all the office need. Its interface is same as like
the MS office 2003 and one thing is that it is bulky in size. Take longer time
to load and operate. It supports all Microsoft and non Microsoft general file
format. It provides you 27 fonts with 1GB online free cloud storage. It provides
you mailing/sharing as well as file manager facility in it. You can export the
files as same in import format + PDF + Html format. You will not notice the Help section in it
instead you will get the FAQ section for any help. Expert recommendation for
this is when you are using sound internet connection and have account as main
focus. Log in to it on Zoho.com
5.
Adobe
Acrobat
Adobe is best known king for most of
the web based application as well as adobe reader. Adobe acrobat is online
platform for you minimalist type office suite. It takes you cost of many other
file format like workbook, it support only Doc(x) format. For logging there,
you will need an Adobe ID, it support collective import but not collective
export of the files. Similarly it doesn’t give you choice of file manager in
it. It is provided with 5 GB of cloud space with 7 installed fonts to work on. File can be export in the Doc(x) plus PDF
format. On the bases of performance it is on average good. It doesn’t allow you
to collectively import multiple file at the same time.
here are a view for mobile office.
So user have to choose from these with
little tricky options on the bases of fonts, import export format as well as
protocol for it. Decent look and multiple function is saying Google Drive is
best, if you will go for storage Skydrive i.e. Microsoft live office suite is
best, and for choices of fonts you can go for ThinkFree. You may leave your suggestion
to us why and what are your views.
LibreOffice formerly known as OpenOffice, still remains the prime choice when it comes to freeware office suites. I will also suggest you to go get "Kingsoft Office Suite Professional 2012". As far as i am aware free one lacks macro support and doesn't have the ability for opening Office 2007/2010 formats but it can open them without any issues.
