typora vs Google Drive

Typora immediately renders what's typed on the screen in Markdown format. This helps users to have a better understanding of how their document is being formatted.

The editor and preview dual-pane setup typical of desktop Markdown editors are gone; instead, a singular interface makes for a WYSIWYG experience. This streamlines the workflow and encourages direct manipulation.

It supports LaTeX expressions, with an easy-to-use MaxJax panel.

It supports GFM's code fences, with syntax highlight support for C/C++, java, etc.

Typora has clean yet beautiful built-in themes and allows for users to create new themes using CSS.

It supports tables for Markdown Extra. And also provides a GUI to make it easy to insert and edit them.

It won't display image like ![alt](http://image-url), But shows the image content inside the editor.

It supports an outline for the document, by showing a table of contents on the left side of the screen.
