Google Drive Blog: Bring a little something extra to Docs and Sheets with add-ons
My Favorite Add-Ons:
UberConference
Brings the conference call to you Google Drive. Great tool with easy interactive features in your Google Drive.
Drive Tunes
This enables you to add audio files directly into your Google Docs. Great for written projects which require that extra layer of media.
EasyBib
Add citations easily and effectively into your Google Docs. My favorite part of this Doc is the feature which collects your citations at the bottom of the page.
