Not me. It's worth pointing out that Office 2007 and 2010 already come with "cloud" capabilities built-in, plus there is also Windows Live Sync. Generally speaking I stay away from Google unless they provide genuine and original value. Most of the time they don't, or the price they are asking is too high, imho. Notice that their "free" stuff is usually not free...

 

Store everything online .. ya .. how many gmail account lost everything in the last few days ?
How many online storage account got deleted ? ....


When truecrypt or pgp support encryption on the fly b4 uploading I might give a try ...
Til then not going to compromise security.

 

I rather like this feature. I've been saving all of my files on drop box, and backing up every month. This will allow me to stick with office, and will make collaboration easier (most people refuse to use google docs).

Thanks for the heads up. I would have prb. missed this.

 

I see Arstechnica did a review. I haven't read it yet myself, but the title does not sound like a ringing endorsement.

Hands-on: Google Cloud Connect for Office not ready for prime time

Thanks Pirx for pointing out comparable services from Microsoft. I'll have to look into them too.

 

As mentioned above, Live Mesh already have a very nice file sync feature and Office 2010 also integrate nicely with SkyDrive storage. It is very smooth.

 

I'll go with skydrive. will get full support on my wp7 phone, that'll be nice. obviously synced to my home server for backup there, and not data that i would care if someone else due to some leak could access it.

 

There are actually many hidden treasures under the hated brand

 

when ever one hates something, one misses the opportunity to enjoy something. it's always a miss, always a loss.
