Now Anyone Can Sync Google Docs & Microsoft Office

Google just made it easier for people to collaborate with each other using Microsoft Office by officially launching Google Cloud Connect Thursday.

The service, which has been in beta since November, is now available to all and uses Google’s vast cloud to store and synchronize any Microsoft Word, PowerPoint or Excel document.

If you have Microsoft Office, using Google Cloud Connect is as easy as downloading a plug-in, installing it and then seeing a toolbar at the top of your Office application.

Wish they’d launched this for Mac as well, but anxious to try it out on my office Windows laptop.
