Needing Advice: A Place to Store Word/Pages Documents

[red_satin_doll]

My sweetie is not too fond of the idea of me creating and storing Pages docs (the Mac version of Word) on her laptop, now our only computer; she's worried about it filling up etc. (I love that woman, oh how I do, but....ever seen the scene in the movie The Kids Are Alright re: "micromanaging"? That's pretty much us.)

So I'd like to have a place where I can create, edit and store documents online and store them there, now that I've just filled up another notebook with fic drafts and meta notes; something along the lines of Photobucket, but for documents rather than photos.

FYI: the simpler the better. I've heard of iCloud and still have no idea what it is (despite <lj user=comlodge>'s careful explanation of it); I'm pretty computer savvy in some ways but most of y'all are way ahead of me in a lot of other areas. Thanks muchly!

I use Google Drive and it's nifty!

I just tried to download a pages doc (I'd saved as first to the harddrive just in case) and when I try to upload into a folder in Google docs I get a lost connection to server message. given that I'm still online I have no idea how that's even possible. (*pouts*)

You need to c/p it into a Google doc. I had the same trouble with Word docs until I figured that out.

c/p? (Assume I'm the village idiot, sweetie. 'cause I am.)

Sorry! Copy and paste.

And you are not the least bit an idiot.

*resolve face*

ETA: I GOT IT! THANK YOU! *bounces up and down* I feel like a kid at Christmas. It really is nifty - formatting and the whole ball o' wax!

And I wasn't fishing for a compliment, honest. But I won't refuse it, either. that would just be rude. :)
