==Task 3: Going deeper in Google Drive==
*You can keep on practising by choosing one or more of the following additional tasks.

===Task 3.1: Import and convert a document===
*You have a lot of documents (Text, Presentations, Spreadsheets) created with tools like MS Word, MS Excel, MS Power Point, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, etc,
*You may wish to import your own stuff to your Google Drive account.
*You can do it, by using "Drag & Drop" or uploading it.
*Also, you can convert those documents to Google Format and then you can manipulate them as you like, wherever you are, and within any device.
*There's no need to be concern about having to save your document or synchronize your data.
**After importing a document (Text document for example) just right click on it and select: '''Open with ... -> Google docs'''. And you'll have both documents, the original and the new one in google format, to continue working on.
**If you want, you can now delete the original one.

*'''Practice''':
**Download this file: [[Media:Piale_Phase_C_Vocabulary.odt]] to your computer.
**Import it to any folder in your Google Drive Account
**Convert it to Google Format
====Google Docs helps you in English, or other Languages====
**Open the last converted document.
**Find the word appearing in row 12.
**Right click on this word and click ''' Define ...'''' to get the definition of the word.
**Copy the definition under the proper column.

===Task 3.2: Other documents===
*There are many applications around Google Drive, that you can easily add to your account.
*Just click '''New - > More -> Connect more apps ... '''.
*For example:
**'''Database''': Google Fusion Tables
**'''Flow charts and diagrams''': Lucid Charts
**'''Convert PDFs''': several apps.
**Etc.

*'''Practice''':
**Use one of those applications to develop whatever document you like.

===Task 3.3: Mobile devices===
