New Tools Make it Easier to Get Your Files Into Google Docs
Google has released a new desktop uploader for Windows, making to much easier to move a large batch of files into Google Docs. The new application works on Windows PCs running the .NET Framework 2.0 or higher.
Once installed you can upload to Google Docs by dragging and dropping your files or through the right-click contextual menu item. If you’re a heavy Google Docs user this should make it somewhat easier to bulk upload files for editing and sharing online.
For those using OpenOffice as your desktop office suite there’s an extension available for up/downloading files to Google Docs, though it appears to have a number of issues judging by the comments.
In another small update Google Presentations can now be exported as PDF files. While many are probably still waiting for an export to PowerPoint option, the PDF export at least gives you a better way to send presentations via e-mail or print them out. Still, without an option to export to .ppt files, Google Presentations remains unusable for many.
