It can be even worse.

I've seen younger generation only use Google Docs and streaming services (music/video) and not even understand what a "file" is, because everything is just on the internet.




Doesn’t Google Docs stores its files on Google Drive? What do they call the things they open to open an existing doc?

Still Google Docs? Many people use docs.google.com daily, but they have never visited drive.google.com


It does, but the file structure isn't really exposed unless you go looking for it. You mostly just work off your recent files and such.


I didn’t know that, and I’ve used docs about as long as it’s existed and used to use drive a little years and years ago.
