Are you into Cloud Computing? No? Not really sure what it means? Well, do you use Google Documents for example? If so, then you are already participating in the cloud computing revolution! If not, then basically Google Docs allows you to create, edit, store and more importantly share documents online with no need for any applications to sit on your hard drive excepting your web browser.
This really is a glimpse of the future for personal computing, but for many people at the moment Google Docs just doesn’t provide the same level of functionality and flexibility they, as seasoned Microsoft Office users, are used to. Well, now you can enjoy the best of both worlds. You can create and edit your documents, presentations or spreadsheets in MS Office as usual and then, at a click of a button upload, save and share them within Google Documents.
How can this be I hear you cry! Well, you just need to use the new Google Cloud Connector Utility. This is a free plugin that will work with MS Office 2003, 2007 and 2010 versions.
Download and install it today from http://tools.google.com/dlpage/cloudconnect/eula.html.
Then, the next time you start your Microsoft Office application you will be asked to connect to Google Documents and a new connector task bar entry will appear with a simple sync button on your MS Office screen, allowing you to save and/or share your newly created or updated MS Office document straightaway online.
Go on, give it a try. Join the cloud revolution today whilst still using Microsoft Office on your own machine. Get the best of both Worlds!
