Google Docs is still possibly the best editing service documents with real-time collaboration ever invented. Google is to be congratulated on that. The service is so good that, from this Wednesday, is integrated in the Box (formerly known as Box.net). Again the interoperability of the faces in the large network, for our joy.
By accessing the control panel box, customers - there's even free plans, but the truth is that even companies serving the service - it will provide a tool with the option to create documents in Google Docs. Text or spreadsheet, the user chooses.
The Box opens a new window with the editing of the document, which can be done by several people simultaneously - see the video below. Each move wherever, make your adjustments and exit the window. Upon returning to the control panel, there is the file with the right to add comments on the platform of the Box, as well as sharing with other employees.
Basically, the team picked up a box web app that already exists and add to your service package. More than a link to create documents in the Google service, both are built in a unique way.
"We believe the combination of collaborative editing Google Docs with the content management Box will transform the way people work," wrote the Box.net CEO Aaron Levie. With the box being used in seven out of ten of the largest U.S. companies, it is likely that he is right.
I wanted to see this kind of integration on more platforms. For example, in iCloud. It would be nice to have the files saved in Apple's cloud, but you can edit them in Google Docs (which even eliminate the need to install iWork or Office for Mac).
