I’m trying to find the correct URLs that let me create brand new documents directly in Google Docs or Google Drive without having to navigate through all the menus. I’ve seen some old tutorials online that show specific web addresses you can visit to instantly start a new document, but most of them seem outdated now. The ones I tried either don’t work anymore or redirect me to the main Drive page. Does anyone know the current working URLs for creating new docs, sheets, or presentations? I want to bookmark these for quick access when I need to start working on something new right away.
If you’re looking to bypass the Google Drive interface, you can use these direct URLs. For a new document, go to docs.google.com/document/create. If you need a new spreadsheet, use sheets.google.com/create. For presentations, visit docs.google.com/presentation/create. Just ensure you are logged into your Google account to avoid being redirected to the sign-in page.
the .new shortcuts r like a game changer! use docs.new, sheets.new, and slides.new if u don’t remember the singular forms. i tend to mix up sheets n sheet all the time lol. so handy on mobile too when u just wanna jump in!
There’s an even faster way that always works. Just bookmark doc.new for documents, sheet.new for spreadsheets, and slide.new for presentations. Google made these simple redirect URLs a few years back for exactly this reason. I’ve used them daily for two years - they never break like the longer URLs do when Google updates stuff. Best part? They’re super easy to remember and you can just type them straight into your browser.
