#13Yup came here to find this. Can open Drive, but not individual documents. Which is a real pain as there is something in one I need right now. And I have offline installed but no dice...

Edit: I was using it fine at around 7:20AM (AEST) but it was down when I got to work at 8AM.

I don't think any criticism or complaining is of any use in such a situation. People and companies that understand the implications already took care to protect themselves against such failures. Those who haven't will learn eventually.

Has Gdoc's made businesses more productive due to co-working on documents together, rather than emailing around word documents?
lock-in? Why do you feel Gdoc's provides lock-in?
How is it a walled garden?
