InSync: Dropbox & Google Docs Integration

Bridging the Gap: Integrating Dropbox Functionality with Google Docs

Dropbox remains a leading file-synchronization application for desktop environments. However, many remote professionals favor Google Docs as their primary online office suite.

For some time, users have expressed a desire for a seamless integration between these two powerful platforms.

Imagine the efficiency gained by being able to modify documents locally on your computer and have those changes automatically synchronized with your Google Docs account.

Introducing InSync: A Unified Solution

InSync provides this very functionality, acting as an application that enables synchronization of your Google documents across all of your devices.

The desktop client offered by InSync allows users to designate a shared folder within their existing documents directory.

Files added to this folder are then automatically uploaded to your Google Docs account.

Collaboration is also streamlined; you can share files with colleagues in a manner similar to Dropbox.

This allows them to collaboratively edit those shared files directly within Google Docs.

Advanced Sharing and Management

InSync offers granular control over file access, including the ability to establish file permissions, implement nested sharing structures, and manage individual file sharing settings.

A key distinction from Dropbox is that InSync leverages Google's storage infrastructure as your central online file manager.

Furthermore, the application supports the addition of multiple Google accounts for enhanced organization and accessibility.

A Powerful Combination

InSync proves to be a valuable asset for individuals who require the robust file-synchronization capabilities of Dropbox, coupled with the collaborative advantages of Google Docs.
