I have successfully converted text from sheets to docs however I am unable to carry over the relevant formatting/markdowns like bold, italics, colour, underlined & etc. (It's also completely possible that I'm overlooking some useful aspect to the data.) I would also guess that the same sort of thought process has gone on within Google and a cursory skimming of such stats has occurred at some point, just to verify there's no useful patterns.I am trying to copy formatted texts from google sheets to google docs using google scripts. Sharing, level of participation, and common formatting operations would be the data I'd be most interested in if I were working on Docs, because that would yield the most actionable items to improve the user experience.īasically, yeah they could use those stats internally, though I'm not sure how useful they would be for Docs specifically. Being a very generalized tool, designed to accomidate so many different writing and outlining needs, it's just harder to find useful patterns across that kind of data. I could look at the content and if/whom it was shared with, but I doubt that I'd be able to derive as much from the content. When it comes to Docs, the same data would probably be much less useful. This can farther be correlated with relationship to the recipient (if known) and might actually provide some useful data in terms of usage patterns for improving the product. Understand though, Gmail's use case is narrower than Docs, where people save lists, random snippets, quotations and copies of text from disparate sources. I'm a dev for a stats/survey company, so I can say what I'd want to see in terms of those kind of reports.įor Gmail, stats like that would be handy in determining what sort of correspondence is being written. It's obviously just supposition without any more specific per-product details of how data is studied internally, but I'd guess it varies a lot per product. I would never put 'real' confidential info online, especially not on Drive. I have stuff on my Google Drive that I consider private and assume no one is reading, but it's just junk I find handy to have access to from my various travels. If I were a lawyer, for instance, I would never put my client information on Google Drive. The good news is, generally no one who would be interested in your documents will get that aggregated information and suss you out.Īs wolfcry0 says, never assume anything you have online is private.
