I cannot imagine doing my job on on iPad, it's way too limited. can you open more than one google doc at a time yet? run desktop extensions on the web? open complex sheets/excel files? I have no idea what job other than sending emails and being on video calls all day could work on an ipad.

Yes to all of those and they’ve been supported for years with the slight caveat that extensions are more limited and need to be provided by an app

also the caveat that excel/sheets is not good on ipad.

You absolutely can't open complex sheets on the ipad still, I just tried a few and they're not functional. how do you open more than one doc natively? I'm still seeing online that it's not supported (using the browser doesn't count). And yeah, none of the extensions I use have a special iOS equivalent.

Why is using the browser not countable? It’s how I deal with sheets anyway on desktop.
