If you use Google for sharing of work documents similar to excel spreadsheets or presentations the present operations you have available allows you to send files independently one-at-a-time up to Google Docs through your browser online. This process can be very time consuming and not real resourceful. If you would like to insert more files then you will have to manually generate a folder to store the files up at Google docs which is another tedious step. If youre like me the procedure of moving all the work files I would need at Google Docs would take to long making Google Docs not a real good choice.

However, I found this little service from Cloud Hero (www.cloudhero.com) that lets you to drag-and-drop entire folders of data as it is on your PC straight from your PC to Google Docs right from within Windows Explorer or youre MY COMPUTER function on your main computer. In Windows you just open my documents, go to the folder you want copied to Google docs and click the folder to activate it then drag it to the Cloud Hero drive on the PC. Release the mouse click and the files copy to the Cloud Hero drive which is sending the folder and contents automatically up to Google Docs. You do not need to be logged into Google Docs or have the browser open for all this to take place. The wonderful thing about this is all this happens automatically so you do not need to do an alternative route or commit to memory to do something else it is all automatic. The look and feel of this procedure is very familiar because this is just how windows usually works for you so you do not need to know how to use an additional program. Cloud Hero is a HUGE time saver and makes me more effective. Remember with Google Docs youre only looking at moving up the same type of files as you use with Microsoft Office which is Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files. If you're a Google Apps user (which is the same as a Google Premier account) you can actually drag-and-drop through the Cloud Hero program any file type so be stored at Google. This means you can send any type of file format for storage such things as music, video etc. as well as files you use with AutoCAD, QuickBooks, and Quicken etc. Consequently this then becomes a true REMOTE DUPLICATION service making this a famous alternative to other pricey backup alternatives.

What is actually great about Cloud Hero is it will also match any adjustments that are made to a file on your PC or at Google Docs automatically and it sends the newly modified file to the alternate location which is a great way to know your data is at all times completely duplicated wherever you make changes. This duplication sync route occurs when youre on-line and automatically happens between your PC and your Google account every 15 minutes so you do not need to remember to do any procedure or run a program it is all done in the background while you perform your regular daily computer work.

Here is an additional situation I have run into. You are on your cell phone (does not matter what type of smart phone you have) you access your Google Docs account via a browser and modify the file and it saves at Google Docs. If this file is shared with others they will automatically get an e-mail message to check the file modifications and Cloud Hero also knows there is a modified file and pulls it down from Google Docs directly down to your main PC all within the 15 min. (providing the main PC is left on, if not then next time the main PC is turned on the file is pulled down from Google Docs automatically).

All Google Docs user or Google Apps (Premier account users) should looking at getting Cloud Hero as an add-on product to truly save you time with less frustration which lets you to put in place a system to have a full duplicate copy of all your records and folders in an off-site recognized storage company - Google. You will have a better piece of mind knowing your data is duplicated whenever you change a file and receive the benefits of saving you a great amount of time.
