How To Export Documents from Google Docs to Your Computer

Google Docs offers a great service that allows you to access and edit documents from anywhere there is a web connection. Sometimes you might need to grab all of those documents and bring them to another machine. Here we take a look at exporting Google documents to your computer the easy way.

Export Google Documents

Log into your Google account and go to the list of your Google docs. Now you can select the documents you want to export or select them all.

 

After selecting the documents you want click on More actions and then Export.

 

Now select how you want each of the document types converted when downloaded. You can choose different formats like MS Office, Open Office, PDF and others. Check the box next to Export all your files (up to 2 GB) if you want to export all of them. Yep, up to 2GB worth of files … if you have a lot of work in Google Docs like projects and collaborations, it’s nice to be able to export such a large amount.

 

A progress screen is shown while the files are being zipped and getting ready for download. If you have a large amount of documents and don’t want to wait, there’s an option to Email when ready and you’ll get a download link emailed when they’re ready so you can work on other things.

 

The documents are zipped up and ready to be downloaded.

 

Download them to a location on your computer, external drive, or network location.

 

There you go! All of the documents you selected to export from Google Docs are ready to be used in the application format you specified.

 

Conclusion

This is a great option if you need to get all of your documents off of Google Docs for some reason. The fact they allow up to 2GB worth of documents at a time is very cool. I guess I don’t know if I’ve ever had 2GB worth of documents before for anything, but if your collaborating on school and work projects you may find that much necessary. You also might want to export your documents off Google servers occasionally for backup…incase Google Docs is down or you’re away from an Internet connection and need to work on them.

Download ChristmasTheme for XP From microsoft

If you are looking for a way to customize your XP machine for the holidays, you might want to install the oldie but goodie ChristmasTheme 2004 from Microsoft. Here we take a look at what you can expect when installing it on your XP computer.

ChristmasTheme 2004

After successful installation, the Display Properties window opens under the Theme tab and you need to click on Apply and Ok to start using it.

You’ll see it adds a neat looking snowy background with Santa Claus in his sled. It also changes the pointer and a few other icons like My Computer. Also when you boot up, it plays a Christmas jingle instead of the standard logon sound.

2x

Another cool feature is a neat 3D screensaver that shows Santa flying around and delivery presents.

You can change the theme back later by going into Display Properties under the Themes tab and selecting a different one.

Of course there are other Christmas and holiday themes you can download from customization sites, but this one is the official one offered by Microsoft. It gets the job done if you want to display the theme for a few days over the holiday season on your XP machine.

IS GOOGLE OPEN DNS IS FASTER THAN YOUR ISP

gos-logo

DNS is the switchboard of the internet: Type in a text URL like www.mikkimax.blogspot.com, and it finds the numeric IP address to get you there. Google, which seems to be releasing something in just about every consumer-facing software category, has now entered this behind-the-scenes networking space with its new Google Public DNS. I set up a couple of PCs using Google Public DNS, both inside and outside our corporate network, to see if it offered any real advantages over a more traditional DNS system. The results were mixed, although Google DNS did offer some benefits that neither your default DNS server nor major free competitor OpenDNS does.

Google launched its own DNS servers

Recently, Google launched its own DNS servers which aims to provide faster and safer browsing. Here is a tiny tool which allows newbie to switch to Google DNS in 1 click.

Google DNS Helper is a small utility coded in .NET using C#. It backs up your current DNS server address and then changes it to Google’s DNS. You can restore to your old DNS server anytime you want.
