How does Insync Works:

Insync doesn’t require any registration. You can just sign-in into the site with your existing Google account, download and install the client, and associate your machine with your Google account.

It  creates a folder on your hard disk which uploads any file you drop into the folder to your Google Docs account. Any file created, uploaded or changed in Google Docs is also automatically downloaded to this folder.

And this isn’t just limited to documents supported by Google Docs – any type of files can be synced including music, video, .EXE and more.

Although free Google Docs users only get 1GB of storage compared to an excess of 2GB on Dropbox, when one takes into account paid plans, Dropbox is more expensive. For example, $100 a year gets you 50GB at Dropbox but for the same price you can get 400GB storage at Google.

    This looks like an awesome service. My wife and I use Google Docs all the time so we’ll definitely be looking into this addition. The price is right on it too!
