Show HN: Insync - use GDocs like Dropbox • Hacker News Board

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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