Sep 12, 2012  I have extensively used Excel on Windows for ~ 24 months and have used Windows for six years. Since the last 12 months, I have been using the Mac version of Excel (2011 version). The Mac version is pretty decent to work with.

Even if you're using a chunk of Google's lower-tier 1TB storage, syncing everything isn't ideal for many computers. Image: Google Google has rolled out a new syncing feature in Google Drive that can help free up space on a computer. Google photos for mac. This change makes sense given it would be impossible for the vast majority of computers to sync everything from Google's 30TB Drive plan. An update for Google Drive for Mac and Windows changes that situation by allowing which folders and subfolders are to be synced and the ones that shouldn't be. Until now, syncing on Google Drive meant duplicating everything in the cloud on your computer, taxing precious local storage.

I don't want to hear that I should have bought a Windows laptop but currently, I'm in the process of learning Excel (soon enough modeling) and it's been alright so far but the interface is different and the shortcuts are slightly different.

For the Excel knowledge that I will need going into Finance, as of now, is there anything that Excel on a Mac will really put me at a disadvantage? (That I won't be able to perform certain crucial actions for practice at least) • • • • •. To answer your question, plugins aren't cross-platform, so if you need Bloomberg or other third-party vendor data feeds, you're probably out of luck. Now, for the rant: Hot keys, hot keys, hot keys. Using Excel on a Mac is like working with your fingers glued together if you use Windows Excel all day at work. I have a windows laptop at home just for Bloomberg + Excel. If you make money using Excel, you need to consider at least getting VMWare Fusion or Parallels and running windows on your Mac.

Once you are decent in Excel, you'll hate the lack of page up/down and home/end keys on your Mac, as I do with mine. The Fn+Ctrl+Left/Down/Up/Left just isn't the same.
