Sync your Open Office docs with Google Docs
It’s happened before to everyone. You’re on the go, in the mountains, no internet and you just wish you had that Google Docs documet on your destop so you could work on it. All that time wasted with nothing to do, if only you had it with you… What sort of productivity is this?!

Open Office has teamed up with Google Docs to make syncing back and forth as easy as pie (I don’t know how easy pie is, I guess it’s quite easy). All you need is Open Office and a handy extension (see bottom link) and you now have syncing, mind blowing productivity goodness. The great thing is that Open Office documents, Microsoft documents (from Open Office), Spreadsheets (even Excel) and presentations (ppt).

Of course you could do it manually already, but I found it too much of a hastle. I am actually going to change to Open Office because of this, now that Open Office comes very close features-wise I think it is worth the leap. I will update this post if some problems come up with the plugin, but you should be fine, happy syncing!

    We just started beta testing this just a few days ago. If this works with our customized installs of Open Office, we will migrate nearly 1,000 users to this as part of our Global Office program at http://www.fastercats.com.

    Thanks for you post,

    That is so awesome Karl!
    I started reading blogs like mine (Make Use Of, gHacks, Lifehacker) because it gave me good tips and it feels good that I am now the source of some as well :) Please keep me posted, I hope it works out!
