Google Docs Uploader Now Available
January 26th, 2008 | Published in Google | 4 Comments
Finally! The tool we have all been waiting for has arrived! On Thursday, Google released a file uploader utility for Google Docs. Although I had wanted to use Google Docs as another platform for online storage (since no one gives you enough space!), getting all my docs uploaded was a tedious process since each had to be uploaded individually. I ended up using SkyDrive instead, since they have had a drag-and-drop uploader for a while now (and allow uploads of any file type, not just office docs). The new Google uploader lets you upload files either via right-click or drag-and-drop. The right-click option will show up when you right-click on any file on your computer after the tool is installed. Not only that, but the tool will also show you all your docs that you currently have on the Google Docs service and allow you to double-click on them to open them up right into Google Docs. The application works on Windows PCs running the .NET Framework 2.0 or higher. (Sorry, Mac users!)

Or for those with a real operating system, “sorry Linux users!” Now I do love me some Google, and I am an avid user of Google Docs. But they need to remember the Penguins. Srsly.

i must be paranoid… i NEVER think, wow, this is a great tool for me … i ALWAYS think, wow, how clever, yet another way to get data on me, improve their aim, the target on my chest pulsates…
and don’t even talk about the feds and the back door into everything
anyway, life is like this, keeping a low profile will never be possible anymore
