OffiSync is a plug-in for Microsoft Office 2003, 2007, and 2010 that allows you to easily access your Google Docs or Google Apps right from within Microsoft Office. After the plug-in is downloaded, it adds an OffiSync toolbar to Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel).

From the OffiSync toolbar you can:

• Open and save documents to your Google Docs or Google Apps accounts
• Share documents with others
• Co-author documents in real-time
• Use Google Search to find your documents or to search the Web
• Collaborate with others
