Google announced today that it is putting its $25 million acquisition of DocVerse into practice with Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office.
The Google Cloud Connect feature is a free plug-in for Microsoft Office that allows Office users to sync Word, Excel and PowerPoint docs to Google's cloud service. The service is legacy-minded, and works with Office 2003, 2007 and 2010.
After the plug-in is downloaded, what Cloud Connect essentially does, according to Google blog post, is sync and back up an Office document, and then deliver a unique URL that provides access to the latest version of the doc from any browser through Google Docs.
