# Firefox Universal Uploader, a way to make Google Docs an e-portfolio or document backup

Sorry for the long title, but I don’t need to talk all that much about [this particularly cool tool.](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4724)

I just wanted to convey just how excited I am about being able to drag and drop my documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and pdf’s into my google docs accounts. This will allow me to back up my documents very easily, but I can also see the applications for letting students create a much better organized e-portfolio with [Google Docs](http://docs.google.com/).

I will leave it to someone else (or perhaps, myself when I have a little more time) to figure out other uses.

(You can also use this plugin to upload to [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/), [slideshare](http://slideshare.net/), [facebook](http://facebook.com/), and a bunch of others… so it is okay if you don’t use Google Docs):
