Sync Documents to Google Docs Directly from Microsoft Office

Google Docs is a popular web based word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, form and data storage service offered by Google. It allows users to create and edit documents online along with the real-time collaboration with other users. Now, you can directly connect and save your documents to Google Docs from Microsoft Office with the help of a new add-in, Google Cloud Connect, released by Google for Microsoft Office.
Apart from saving, Google Cloud Connect also allows users to do the collaborative multi-person editing which means that users are also able to share, backup and simultaneously edit  Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and and Excel documents with other users. This add-in operates in Office versions such as Microsoft Office 2003, Office 2007 and Office 2010.
To start using this add-in, First download and install it on your Microsoft Office. After the installation is complete, you can see a new toolbar appearing in Word, PowerPoint and Excel sheet. At first you have to simply login to your Google Accounts by clicking the login button.

Then, you have to authorize the add-in with the access to your Google Docs account.

Once you are done with authorization step, you can see your account added to the options. You are also provided with the options to switch account and log out of your account any time.

You are provided with two options to save the documents to Google Docs. If the  option for automatic way of saving is selected, the changes are reflected on your Google Docs document as well. If the option for manual way of saving is selected, you have to click the Sync button to make all the changes available to the cloud.
After the document is saved to the cloud, the document link is available for users to share it. In case it is being edited by multiple users, you can also view the revision history for the document.
