Pro

👍 1. **Collaboration and Sharing**: Google Slides allows multiple users to collaborate on the same presentation in real-time, no matter where they are. This feature is highly beneficial for group projects, team presentations, or any scenario that requires input from several individuals. Additionally, sharing the presentation is simple and can be done by sending a link with various permission levels (view, comment, edit).

👍 2. **Accessibility and Cloud Storage**: Being a cloud-based application, Google Slides can be accessed from any device with an internet connection. This ensures that your presentations are always backed up and can be accessed and edited from anywhere. This is particularly useful for those who work from multiple devices or travel frequently.

👍 3. **Integration with Other Google Services**: Google Slides integrates seamlessly with other Google Workspace applications like Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Drive. This allows for easy incorporation of data and content from these services into your presentations. For instance, you can embed charts from Google Sheets or pull information directly from Google Docs, enhancing the functionality and dynamism of your presentations.

Con

👎 1. **Limited Design and Customization Options**:

👎 - Google Slides provides fewer tools for sophisticated design compared to other presentation software like Microsoft PowerPoint. Advanced customization for slide layouts, animations, and transitions can be somewhat limited, which might not meet the needs of users looking for high-end, professional-grade presentations.

👎 2. **Dependence on Internet Connectivity**:

👎 - While you can access and edit Google Slides offline, the application is primarily designed for online use. This means that you may experience restrictions or difficulties if you have an unstable or intermittent internet connection, especially when trying to synchronize changes across devices or collaborate in real-time.

👎 3. **File Compatibility Issues**:

👎 - When converting presentations between Google Slides and other formats (such as PowerPoint), formatting issues can occur. Elements like fonts, animations, and layout may not always transfer perfectly, which can be a problem if you frequently need to share presentations with users who use different software.

👎 These drawbacks can impact users depending on their specific needs and how they intend to use the application.
