Docs.com was a website where users could discover, upload and share Office documents.[2] Supported file types included Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, Mix video presentations and Sways. Users could also add PDFs and URLs on to their page.[3] Docs.com was a part of Microsoft Office Online.

On June 9, 2017, Microsoft announced it would shut down Docs.com on December 15, 2017 in favor of the acquired SlideShare with its LinkedIn purchase.[4] It is now a redirect to Microsoft's technical documentation that resides at docs.microsoft.com.
