CNet: Turn Google Docs Storage Into A Virtual Hard Drive With Insync

Insync doesn't work quite as slickly as competing products such as Dropbox and SugarSync, but it does let you use the storage you already have with Google Docs in the same way, viewing it as a drive on any computer.


"Using Google's vast resources in ways that company did not intend is not a new thing, though rarely is it done right. A new service from the Philippines called Insync falls into that small category, while still managing to play by the rules.

Insync does one thing and does it well, which is to use your Google account as a storage locker. This in itself is not that big of a deal since Google has offered general file storage within Google Docs since January. What Insync does that's so special is turn that storage into a local folder you can access on your computer, just like you would any other folder. Any changes you make to this folder get synced back over and vice versa, and like competitor Dropbox, you can link it up to multiple machines."
