Google Keep is now a G Suite app, gains Docs integration

In a bid to integrate its products into everything (even within its other products), internet giant Google has announced that its Keep note-taking app will now become an official G Suite app, alongside Sheets, Docs and Slides.

“Starting today, you can capture your ideas for work: Keep is now a part of G Suite. You can also take your ideas and notes from Keep and easily add them to Docs for easier brainstorming,” explains Google Keep’s product manager, Mario Anima.

While that sounds grandiose, the integration will be much simpler.

Users will be able to drag and drop notes from Keep into Docs, search Keep from within the Docs interface, and add snippets from Docs into Keep itself. And notes don’t have to be text either…

“Get started by recording your notes, lists and drawings in Keep on Android, iOS, Chrome or the web. While in Docs on the web, access the Keep notepad via the Tools menu. Your Keep notes will appear in a side panel within Docs,” Amina adds.

The integration is rolling out to users across the world right now.
