Attach more files to your Base items
Google has updated the uploader tool on Google Base, allowing users to associate more types of files with their items. Until today, uploading was restricted to images — but now users have the option to upload PDF’s, Microsoft Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, Excel spreadsheets and more.
Ellen Beldner, a User Experience Designer at Google explains some of the changes they made to the uploader tool for Google Base. If their intention is to compete with eBay, they need to make this service as user friendly as possible. The service isn’t as "user friendly" as eBay yet, but with each small upgrade, the service inches closer to where it should be.
According to the Google Base blog, there are a few more improvements to the digital content uploader on the way too — so keep your eyes open for more changes to this service.
