Google Cloud Connect Syncs Microsoft Office With Google Docs [Google]

Love the awesomeness of Google Docs , with real-time collaboration and never worrying about your harddisk exploding, taking down your whole documents, but stuck using Microsoft Office ? They simply got such as Google Cloud Connect .

an easy plug-in from Google launching today effectively turns Microsoft Office into a front-end for Google Docs (aptly named ” Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office plug-in” ). So everything you type in Word, every number you punch in Excel or spreadsheet you whip up in Powerpoint is perfectly synced and backed up on your Google Docs account-and you may collaborate with other Google Docs users.

The catch? Immediately it only works for Office on Windows, because the APIs aren’t there for Office on Mac.

Combined with editing for mobile devices , Google Docs just got so much more awesome. It’s pretty clever, too-while not everybody’s down with editing and working with documents in a browser window, using Google Docs as an internet tying together documents from every kind of devices and applications makes it a whole lot easier to slip into.
