You can also start video calls and conference meetings and organise your appointment's with calendar and contacts. You can use Kaban style project management and create surveys and much more.  There are plugins available to customize the cloud to your liking and massively increase its features.
The best part: Its completly free of charge.
This course is for beginners in Linux and is very step by step. For every part there is a video and you can check the cheetsheet for reference as well that you can download.
