As a Google apps user I frequently need to update the documents or make changes for various reasons. In that case, if I am able to synchronize the MS Office directly with the Google docs and Google apps, that will be absolutely amazing. It will make the job much easier, simpler and faster. So I found a solution for my problem. So today, I would like to review the utility that I found.it is called as OffiSync.
OffiSync is a freeware. It allows you to synchronize the files in Microsoft Office with the Google Apps and Google Docs. Also, it provides the additional benefits within the MS Office by installing Google options in it. MS Office 2007 and 2010 will have a new ribbon tab and MS Office 2003 will have a new tab named as OffiSync after the installation of the software.
The first three options shown in the ribbon: Open, Save, Save as can be used for the purpose of directly synchronizing the word document, excel spreadsheet or powerpoint with your Google docs. When you click on any of these options, you have to enter the email id and password. The file gets upload to the Google docs.
Apart from these options you can the document sharing option is also available. The permissions and update option are also there. These all were the options for uploading and for making changes with the Google docs and apps.
You can also make the use of Google search: web search and images search. Now, you don’t need to search, save and then insert. The Microsoft Office can directly search and insert from Google. Suppose, you want to insert the image of “චින්තක ගේ බ්ලොග් පිටුව”. Enter the requirement in the Google search column and click on images search. It will show the results as shown.
There are few settings available to further make the utility beneficial.
The tool is designed to work with Office 2003, Office 2007 and Office 2010. It requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 and will install it by itself if the PC doesn’t have it.
