With our busy schedules, we are always looking for shortcuts and time-saving tips. Google has now introduced shortcuts to opening new documents, slides, sites and more. Instead of opening Google Drive and selecting "New", simply type doc.new, slides.new, sheets.new, form.new or sites.new in the URL/address bar of a Chrome window to initiate a new document (slide, spreadsheet, form or site). Quick and easy access to activate new Google Suite resources. This ".new" Google domain will also recognize similar names doc.new or documents.new - either will work! If you attempt to do this trick in Safari or Incognito Chrome Window, you will be prompted to sign into your Google Account.
One caveat, this option will create a document within your drive but not within a specific folder. Once you add the title to your '.new' document, a folder icon will appear. Click on the folder to move this document to the desired folder.
