Google Docs originated from two separate products, Writely and Google Spreadsheets. Writely was a web-based word processor launched in 2005 that allowed for collaborative editing. Google Spreadsheets launched in 2006 after Google acquired 2Web Technologies. Google Docs combined the features of these products with presentation capabilities and introduced 1GB of data storage per file in 2010, offering a free, web-based suite of office products including documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and forms.

Writely was a web-based word processor created by the software company Upstartle and launched in August 2005.[1] Spreadsheets, launched as Google Labs Spreadsheets on June 6, 2006,[2] originated from the acquisition of the XL2Web product by 2Web Technologies.
