All gone?


Just added more.


All gone again...


Seems to work well! Thanks, I've been waiting for something like this for long time. I symlinked my Documents folder to the Insync directory.

Edit: Since it uploads files in the original format (does not convert to gDocs format), what would be the best way to make a gDocs copy without clogging things up?


Create a doc inside gdocs and that will be maintained in gdocs format.


Just talk me through why you need access to my contacts (I know there is probably an obvious reason I'm glazing over)


Autocomplete when right click sharing


This is cool, I've been doing something similar w/ the combination of the google command line tools and Mac's folder actions. Although it is only one way.

Basically you designate a folder to always upload to google docs, then when you add a file you have the folder action run the google command line tool to upload the file.


Seems like an amazing service.

Just one question/concern. I took a look at your upgrade page, and "volunteered" to pay $5 per month. I now can't change this option; I'd like to be able to, mostly to compare the various price points on a yearly basis. Is there a way to change my choice, and I just can't find it?


Very slick. Shall be experimenting with it, thanks! I've wanted to make something like this for a while.


It's giving me mixed content errors for MixPanel and YouTube (which both have TLS support).


My dot files are getting renamed. The dot is getting removed. Is there any way to prevent this? If it (I don't know if it's your app or GDocs) modifies my files in any way, I can't use it for file storage. Period.


Please email support@insynchq.com


Nice. I've toyed with this notion several times. I assume you're going to add Single Sign On capability and sell this in the Google Apps Marketplace, right?


No linux version yet !!! Cant test out ..


Coming soon


At the end, you said it works bi-directionally.. but you didn't demo it. Why not?


Works very well. Thanks for the invite.


I'm a big fan. My only concern is figuring out how best to interact with my google spreadsheets to avoid creating a lot of redundant data.
